Temperature

Entering May, Dhulagari's average high-temperature reads a still torrid 38.8°C (101.8°F), indicating a close resemblance to the previous month's climate. An average low-temperature of 28.2°C (82.8°F) is common during the nights of May.

Heat index

The heat index value for May is estimated at a life-threatening hot 59°C (138.2°F). Warning: These weather conditions are viewed as exceedingly risky, with heatstroke at hand.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.

Never neglect to protect yourself. Eyes and skin can suffer swift damage. The hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. have the most intense UV radiation. As much as possible, limit direct sun exposure during this period. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays.
