May weather forecast
Jalakandapuram, India

Temperature

The transition into May is marked with an average high-temperature of a still sweltering 37.6°C (99.7°F), showing an insignificant shift from April's 37.8°C (100°F). Throughout May, the nighttime temperature in Jalakandapuram averages to a warm 26.7°C (80.1°F).

Heat index

For most parts of May, the heat index is computed to be a life-threatening hot 49°C (120.2°F). Remain cautious: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are foreseeable. Ongoing activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

The average relative humidity in May is 52%.

Note: In May, the average maximum UV index of 8 translates into the following recommendations:
Never be careless. Unprotected skin and eyes can be harmed swiftly. UV radiation from the sun is at its strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure during these hours. For optimum UV protection, wear sun-resistant attire complemented with a hat and quality shades.
