Wichian Buri District,
Thailand, with an average temperature ranging between min 25.1°C (77.2°F) and max 35.3°C (95.5°F).
Temperature
The introduction of May notes a subtle temperature variation to a still sweltering 35.3°C (95.5°F) from
April's 37.2°C (99°F). During May, Wichian Buri District sees a mean low-temperature of 25.1°C (77.2°F).
Heat index
The heat index value during May is computed to be a life-threatening hot 54°C (129.2°F).
Be alert: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is a threat with sustained physical activity.
When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
