The last month of the pre-monsoon summer, May, is another tropical month in Dibrugarh, India, with an average temperature fluctuating between 21.4°C (70.5°F) and 32.5°C (90.5°F).

Temperature

Dibrugarh marks the arrival of May with an average high-temperature of a still hot 32.5°C (90.5°F), hardly different from April's 31.4°C (88.5°F). During May, the temperature is averaged to a low of 21.4°C (70.5°F) at night.

Heat index

The heat index value during May is evaluated at an extremely hot 44°C (111.2°F). Alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely to occur. Prolonged exertion can lead to heatstroke.
From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.

Note: The daily high UV index of 7 during May translates into the following recommendations:
Resist overexposure. Safeguarding from solar damage is indispensable. Limit your direct sun exposure, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest. Shade structures might not provide complete sun protection. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays.
