Temperature

Palauk's weather in May indicates an average high-temperature of a still tropical 30.8°C (87.4°F), nearly consistent with the 31.8°C (89.2°F) of April. In Palauk, May is characterized by an average low-temperature of 26.9°C (80.4°F), indicating a minor drop from daytime highs.

Heat index

May's heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 39°C (102.2°F). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in May is 77%.

UV index

January through May, August through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index in Palauk. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: In May, a daily UV index of 7 turns into the following recommendations:
Ward off overexposure. Defence against solar harm is crucial. The time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. is when UV radiation is at its peak. Limit exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
