Temperature

Jalahalli marks the onset of May with an average high-temperature of a hot 33.8°C (92.8°F), subtly divergent from April's 35°C (95°F). In May, Jalahalli encounters an average low-temperature of 23.1°C (73.6°F) during the night.

Heat index

For May, the heat index is computed to be an extremely hot 40°C (104°F). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.
When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in May is 56%.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are February through May, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.
Note: The daily maximum UV index of 7 in May interprets into the following advice:
Exercise precautions and adapt sun safety practices. Defence against skin and eye affliction is paramount. The Sun's UV radiation is most intense from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. Opt for tightly woven and loose clothing to enhance protection from the Sun.
