Weather in May

The last month of the pre-monsoon summer, May, is also a fiery hot month in Gudekota, India, with an average temperature varying between 26.2°C (79.2°F) and 37.2°C (99°F).

Temperature

May's onset records a minor alteration in the average high-temperature to a still very hot 37.2°C (99°F) from April's 37.8°C (100°F). An average nighttime temperature of 26.2°C (79.2°F) is observed during May.

Heat index

The heat index in May is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 44°C (111.2°F). Be careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may result from extended activity.
When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. 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.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in May is 45%.
