Temperature

May records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 33.7°C (92.7°F), indicating a minor variation from the preceding month. Despite a stark disparity with daily highs, Kanlaung records an average nighttime temperature of 21.5°C (70.7°F) in May.

Heat index

For most parts of May, the heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 44°C (111.2°F). Mindful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are to be expected. Extended physical effort might result in heatstroke.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. 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 'felt air temperature', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.

Embrace precautions and observe sun safety norms. Evasion of sunburn is a necessity. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. Sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays play a pivotal role in reducing solar eye damage.
