May weather forecast
Ban Pho, Thailand

The last month of the spring, May, is also a fiery hot month in Ban Pho, Thailand, with an average temperature fluctuating between 26.3°C (79.3°F) and 35°C (95°F).

Temperature

The beginning of May records an average high-temperature of a still torrid 35°C (95°F), marking a negligible difference from April's 36.7°C (98.1°F). The average temperature during May nights is registered at a moderately hot 26.3°C (79.3°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in May is estimated at a blazing hot 47°C (116.6°F). Be wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are highly anticipated. With continued activity, heatstroke is very likely.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
Humans rely on perspiration as a cooling mechanism, wherein the evaporating sweat counteracts excessive warmth. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

Note: The maximum UV index, 7 during May, leads to the following recommendations:
Elude overexposure. Fair-skinned people could get burnt in less than 20 minutes. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., UV radiation is strongest. Make an effort to avoid direct sunlight during this time, remembering that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. A hat with a generous brim can prevent nearly 50% of UV rays from reaching your eyes.
