The advent of May presents an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29.3°C (84.7°F), maintaining a close correlation with the preceding month. An average temperature of 26°C (78.8°F) is logged during the nights of May in Kawinbli, a small step down from daytime highs.

Heat index

May's mean heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 36°C (96.8°F). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 81%.

Note: A maximum UV index of 7 in May translates into the following recommendations:
Fend off overexposure. Sun protection is vital. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, but remember that shade structures may not offer complete protection. For minimizing sun-related eye damage, always choose sunglasses with UVA and UVB coverage.
