Temperature

Upon the beginning of May, Ninh Hòa's high-temperatures register at a hot 33.9°C (93°F), closely mirroring the preceding month. During May, Ninh Hòa sees a mean low-temperature of 26.7°C (80.1°F).

Heat index

During May, the heat index is estimated at a life-threatening hot 48°C (118.4°F). Prudent: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Heatstroke becomes imminent with sustained exertion.
Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. 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', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. 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. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. 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 way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.

A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the average person.
Note: In May, a regular UV index of 7 translates into these guidelines:
Take precautions against overexposure. Protection against sun damage is needed. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Sunglasses that guard against UVA and UVB rays are pivotal in minimizing sun-induced ocular damage.
