May weather forecast
Daung-u, Myanmar

The last month of the spring, May, is another tropical month in Daung-u, Myanmar, with an average temperature varying between 32.9°C (91.2°F) and 26.5°C (79.7°F).

Temperature

With the onset of May, the average high-temperature stands at a hot 32.9°C (91.2°F), closely aligned with April's 35.1°C (95.2°F). Daung-u witnesses an average low-temperature of 26.5°C (79.7°F) throughout the month of May.

Heat index

For May, the heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 45°C (113°F). Stay watchful: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are likely. Ongoing effort may cause heatstroke.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in May is 75%.

Rainfall

In Daung-u, in May, during 25.9 rainfall days, 184mm (7.24") of precipitation is typically accumulated. In Daung-u, during the entire year, the rain falls for 200.3 days and collects up to 1751mm (68.94") of precipitation.

UV index

The average daily maximum UV index in May is 7. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: The UV index of 7 during May translates into the following guidance:
Elude overexposure. Fair-skinned people could get burnt in less than 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is at its strongest, and remember that parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
