The beginning of May records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.8°C (89.2°F), almost echoing the conditions of the previous month. Mong Hsu observes a noteworthy temperature drop from the daily highs during May nights, with a mean temperature of 19.3°C (66.7°F).

Heat index

The heat index in May is computed to be a fiery hot 38°C (100.4°F). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.
Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. 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 especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. When there is abundant moisture in the air, the body's cooling through the evaporation process becomes less effective, leading to the sensation of overheating. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Enhance your sun protection with tightly woven, yet airy clothing.
