Palaw, Myanmar

Temperature

May's arrival shows an average high-temperature of a still tropical 30.8°C (87.4°F), hardly different from the previous month. Palaw, in the month of May, notes an average low temperature of 26.9°C (80.4°F), indicating a small decrease from the daytime highs.

Heat index

May's mean heat index is computed to be a very hot 39°C (102.2°F). Incorporate extra safety measures to avoid heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Continuous activity could provoke heatstroke.
Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

UV index

January through May, August through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.
Note: The daily high UV index of 7 during May translates into the following recommendations:
Take precautions and utilize sun safety practices. Protection against skin and eye damage is required. The Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
