May weather forecast
Patheingyi, Myanmar

May, the last month of the spring in Patheingyi, is another very hot month, with an average temperature varying between 27.1°C (80.8°F) and 36.9°C (98.4°F).

Temperature

May's onset sees an average high-temperature of a still sweltering 36.9°C (98.4°F), exhibiting a slight fluctuation from the previous month. Throughout May, the average low-temperature dips to a warm 27.1°C (80.8°F).

Heat index

For most parts of May, the heat index is calculated to be a blazing hot 47°C (116.6°F). Take heed: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Heatstroke is a potential outcome of continuous activity.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. 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 'feels like' or 'real feel', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 53%.

Rainfall

In May, in Patheingyi, the rain falls for 23.3 days. Throughout May, 113mm (4.45") of precipitation is accumulated. In Patheingyi, during the entire year, the rain falls for 186 days and collects up to 871mm (34.29") of precipitation.

UV index

The average daily maximum UV index in May is 7. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: In May, the maximum UV index of 7 transforms into these recommendations:
Dodge overexposure. Fair-skinned people can get singed in less than 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is at its strongest, and remember that parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
