May weather forecast
Balungao, Philippines

The last month of the spring, May, is another tropical month in Balungao, Philippines, with an average temperature ranging between min 24.7°C (76.5°F) and max 34.7°C (94.5°F).

Temperature

May brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 34.7°C (94.5°F), showing a slight difference from April's 34.9°C (94.8°F). An average low-temperature of 24.7°C (76.5°F) is observed in Balungao during the May nights.

Heat index

May's average heat index is evaluated at a blazing hot 49°C (120.2°F). Caution: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Sustained activity could lead to heatstroke.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

Note: A typical high UV index of 7 in May suggests the following recommendations:
Implement precautions and maintain sun safety methods. Avoidance of sunburn is demanded. The Sun's UV radiation is most powerful between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. To the extent possible, limit exposure to the direct sun during these hours. A hat with a broad brim is indispensable, filtering out up to half of UV rays.
