Temperature

May brings a marginal elevation to a still fiery hot 35.9°C (96.6°F) from April's 38.7°C (101.7°F) in Biri's average high-temperatures. During the month of May, an average low-temperature of 25.8°C (78.4°F) is recorded.

Heat index

The average heat index in May is appraised at a blisteringly hot 42°C (107.6°F). Apply extra caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke might occur with long-duration activity.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in May is 47%.

Sunshine

The month with the most sunshine is May, with an average of 11.7h of sunshine.

UV index

In May, the average daily maximum UV index is 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for average individuals.
Note: In May, a daily maximum UV index of 7 leads to the following instructions:
Ward off overexposure. Defence against solar harm is crucial. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this time. A wide-brimmed hat provides unparalleled sun protection for sensitive areas like the eyes, ears, and neck.
