Weather in May
Temperature
Transitioning into May, Poundioum experiences an average high-temperature of a still fiery hot 37.1°C (98.8°F), marking a minor shift from the preceding month. A sharp contrast between day and night is prevalent in May with an average nighttime temperature of 21.3°C (70.3°F).Heat index
During May, the heat index is estimated at a blazing hot 45°C (113°F). Watchful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are predicted. Continued exertion could lead to heatstroke.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
