May weather forecast
Alandurai, India

The last month of the pre-monsoon summer, May, is another tropical month in Alandurai, India, with an average temperature ranging between max 32.8°C (91°F) and min 23.5°C (74.3°F).

Temperature

As May commences, the average high-temperature subtly reduces, transitioning from a sweltering 35.8°C (96.4°F) in April to a hot 32.8°C (91°F). Throughout the month of May, Alandurai observes an average nighttime temperature of 23.5°C (74.3°F).

Heat index

May's heat index is appraised at a life-threatening hot 46°C (114.8°F). Keep on guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is a possible danger with ongoing physical activity.
Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.

Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. Enhance your sun protection with tightly woven, yet airy clothing.
