Weather in May

May, the last month of the pre-monsoon summer in Baniara, is another very hot month, with temperature in the range of an average high of 38.8°C (101.8°F) and an average low of 28.2°C (82.8°F).

Temperature

Baniara experiences a recorded average high-temperature of a still fiery hot 38.8°C (101.8°F) in May, closely aligned with April's 39.5°C (103.1°F). Throughout May, the temperature falls to an average low of 28.2°C (82.8°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in May is computed to be a burning hot 59°C (138.2°F). Warning: These weather conditions are judged to be tremendously perilous, and heatstroke is imminent.
In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. 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 quite important for children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

In Baniara, the average relative humidity in May is 61%.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are March through May, with an average maximum UV index of 8. A UV Index reading of 8 to 10 represents a very high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the average person.
Note: The UV index of 8 during May leads to these advisories:
Prioritize protection; rapid damage can occur to unprotected eyes and skin. UV radiation from the sun is at its strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure during these hours. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
