Temperature

The shift into May in Letpadan uncovers an average high-temperature of a still sweltering 36.4°C (97.5°F), subtly different from the previous month. An average low-temperature of 27.3°C (81.1°F) is observed during May nights.

Heat index

During May, the heat index is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 51°C (123.8°F). Keep wary: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a possible outcome of ongoing activity.
Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
