May weather forecast
Shwegyin, Myanmar

The last month of the spring, May, is another torrid month in Shwegyin, Myanmar, with an average temperature ranging between max 35.6°C (96.1°F) and min 27.7°C (81.9°F).

Temperature

May's weather displays an average high-temperature of a still very hot 35.6°C (96.1°F), slightly varied from April's 38.5°C (101.3°F). Nighttime temperatures in May average to a moderately hot 27.7°C (81.9°F).

Heat index

The heat index value during May is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 50°C (122°F). Be on the lookout: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Continued exertion can result in heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. 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 quite important for children. 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.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 65%.

Rainfall

In May, the rain falls for 20.9 days. Throughout May, 124mm (4.88") of precipitation is accumulated. In Shwegyin, during the entire year, the rain falls for 163.6 days and collects up to 986mm (38.82") of precipitation.

Embrace precautions and observe sun safety norms. Evasion of sunburn is a necessity. The Sun's UV radiation is most powerful between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. To the extent possible, limit exposure to the direct sun during these hours. Employ a hat with a wide brim for robust protection, cutting UV exposure by half.
