May weather forecast
Satun, Thailand

Satun continues its journey through the wet season in May with a pronounced leap in rainfall, marking the peak in precipitation for the year. Additionally, amplified humidity amplifies the sensation of heat, despite temperatures slightly falling from April's readings. This month is a melting pot of climatic extremities and, consequently, carries an unforgettable signature. Among the most notable of May's weather traits is the rainfall peak of 233mm (9.17"), reinforcing its title as one of the climatic cornerstones of Satun's monsoon landscape.

Temperature

Satun's weather, upon May's arrival, documents an average high-temperature of a still tropical 33°C (91.4°F), nearly identical to the prior month. The average low-temperature during May nights is a moderately hot 24.5°C (76.1°F).

Heat index

May's average heat index is estimated at a burning hot 49°C (120.2°F). Vigilance: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. The likelihood of heatstroke increases with continued activity.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 82%.
