Weather in May

Easing away from the intense heat, May is characterized by the onset of the rainy season in Pyinmana. This transition results in a significant increase in rainfall, marking a notable change from the previous months. Reaching 84mm (3.31"), May experiences over four times increase in rainfall from April. This change in weather transforms the landscape, making it lush and vibrant. Heading further into the rainy season in June, rainfall and temperature variations become more pronounced.

Temperature

May reports an average high-temperature of a still torrid 35.3°C (95.5°F), slightly varied from April's 37.3°C (99.1°F). Pyinmana records an average low-temperature of 23.9°C (75°F) throughout the month of May.

Heat index

The heat index value during May is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 48°C (118.4°F). Keep on guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is a possible danger with ongoing physical activity.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. 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 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. 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 hold great significance to children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
Perspiring is a crucial mechanism for the human body, allowing it to release excessive warmth through evaporating sweat. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in May is 63%.

UV index

January, February, May through August, October through December, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the lowest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the average person.
Note: In May, the maximum UV index of 6 suggests this advice:
Take precautions against overexposure. Fair-skinned people may get burned in less than 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest. Remember, however, that not all shade structures provide full sun protection. Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun.
