May weather forecast
Bhastara, India

The last month of the pre-monsoon summer, May, is also a fiery hot month in Bhastara, India, with an average temperature fluctuating between 28°C (82.4°F) and 38.9°C (102°F).

Temperature

The introduction of May notes a subtle temperature variation to a still torrid 38.9°C (102°F) from April's 39.3°C (102.7°F). During May, an average low-temperature of 28°C (82.4°F) is observed.

Heat index

For most parts of May, the heat index is estimated at a burning hot 58°C (136.4°F). Warning: These weather conditions are acknowledged as overly dangerous, and heatstroke is inevitable.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. 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. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Being unprotected puts skin and eyes at risk of rapid damage. Always be safe. 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. Loose clothes with a tight weave are optimal for safeguarding yourself against the Sun's rays.
