Temperature
Sakon Nakhon,
Thailand, ushers in May with an average high-temperature of a tropical 33.5°C (92.3°F), showing a close resemblance to the previous month. During the May nights, an average temperature of 24.9°C (76.8°F) is observed.
Heat index
The heat index in May is evaluated at a blazing hot 48°C (118.4°F).
Notice: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued strenuous activity might lead to heatstroke.
Be informed that the heat index values are oriented around shady conditions and gentle breezes. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
