Weather in May
Temperature
The shift from April to May is marked by a slight increase in the average high-temperature, moving from 78.4°F (25.8°C) to a still warm 85.5°F (29.7°C). Throughout the month of May, China witnesses an average temperature of 67.6°F (19.8°C).Heat index
In May, the heat index is calculated to be a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
Humidity
In China, the average relative humidity in May is 76%.Rainfall
The month with the most rainfall is May, when the rain falls for 13.2 days and typically aggregates up to 4.21" (107mm) of precipitation.Snowfall
In China, snow does not fall in February through December.Daylight
The average length of the day in May is 13h and 41min.On the first day of the month, sunrise is at 6:33 am and sunset at 7:55 pm. On the last day of May, sunrise is at 6:16 am and sunset at 8:13 pm CDT.
Sunshine
In May, the average sunshine is 9.6h.UV index
The average daily maximum UV index in May is 6. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for average individuals.Note: The maximum daily UV index, 6 in May, converts into the following recommendations:
Stick with precautions and abide by sun safety procedures. Evading sunburn is essential. The time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. is when UV radiation is at its peak. Limit exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. During bright days, sunglasses that offer UVA and UVB defense are recommended.
