May, the last month of the spring in
Lamphun, is also a fiery hot month, with an average temperature varying between 24°C (75.2°F) and 35°C (95°F).
Temperature
May begins with an average high-temperature of a still very hot 35°C (95°F), reflecting close similarity to the preceding month. In Lamphun, an average low-temperature of 24°C (75.2°F) is recorded during May nights.
Heat index
The heat index value for May is calculated to be a burning hot 52°C (125.6°F).
Be on the lookout: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Continued exertion can result in heatstroke.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
