May weather forecast
Kutkai, Myanmar

May is characterized by the noticeable onset of the monsoon season. The temperature remains more or less around April levels with a minor reduction. With the rise in rainfall, the humidity levels increase, thus encountering a typical tropical climate. Although sunshine hours remain high, they are often interrupted by clouds. A significant increase in rainfall is experienced with as much as 78mm (3.07") falling in the month.

Temperature

The transition into May is marked with an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.8°C (89.2°F), showing an insignificant shift from April's 32.3°C (90.1°F). A pronounced dip becomes evident during the nights in May as Kutkai logs a consistent average temperature of 19.3°C (66.7°F).

Heat index

May's mean heat index is appraised at a fiery hot 38°C (100.4°F). Take special precautions - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke may occur with lengthy activity.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
