Moving into the month of May, Shwebo witnesses the onset of the rainy season. It is also the period when the region experiences a slight temperature drop to 37.8°C (100°F) while the lowest temperature edges up to reach its peak.

Temperature

On the advent of May, Shwebo's average high-temperature exhibits a minor adjustment to a still fiery hot 37.8°C (100°F) from April's 39.1°C (102.4°F). In May, the recorded average low-temperature is a moderately hot 27.8°C (82°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in May is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 48°C (118.4°F). Remain cautious: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are foreseeable. Ongoing activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
