Weather in May

May inaugurates a shift to a more humid season while succeeding April's hotspot. The downpours take center stage, bringing about an enormous 95mm (3.74") in accumulated rainfall. The cooling effect from this increased precipitation naturally tempers the hot conditions that were prevalent throughout April. Furthermore, May's end reveals a distinct saturation of the climate with wetness, setting the stage for the upcoming monsoon season. The transition towards June involves a denser cloud cover and a further rise in humidity levels.

Temperature

Kalaw experiences a transition to a moderately hot 29.5°C (85.1°F) in average high-temperatures with the arrival of May, not greatly differing from April's 31°C (87.8°F). Throughout the month of May, Kalaw sees a steady low-temperature average of 19.5°C (67.1°F).

Heat index

May's average heat index is calculated to be a tropical 33°C (91.4°F). Adopt heightened preventive measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Persistent activity could lead to heatstroke.
Be informed that the heat index values are oriented around shady conditions and gentle breezes. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.

Skirt overexposure. People with light complexions might get scorched in under 20 minutes. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
