May weather forecastBhandardaha, India

Weather in May

May, the last month of the pre-monsoon summer in Bhandardaha, is also a sweltering month, with temperature in the range of an average low of 28.2°C (82.8°F) and an average high of 38.8°C (101.8°F).

Temperature

The start of May sees the average high-temperature at a still torrid 38.8°C (101.8°F), showing little difference from April's 39.5°C (103.1°F). An average low-temperature of 28.2°C (82.8°F) is expected during May.

Heat index

For most parts of May, the heat index is estimated at a life-threatening hot 59°C (138.2°F). Warning: These weather conditions are treated as highly perilous, and imminent is the threat of heatstroke.
Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

UV index

March through May, with an average maximum UV index of 8, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index value of 8 to 10 symbolizes a very high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.
Note: The UV index of 8 in May translates into these instructions:
Remember to safeguard yourself. Rapid damage can occur to skin and eyes without protection. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest, limit direct exposure to the Sun and note that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Stay sun-safe with clothing that is both closely woven and worn loosely.
