May weather forecast
Jharpokharia, India

The last month of the pre-monsoon summer, May, is another very hot month in Jharpokharia, India, with an average temperature ranging between min 27°C (80.6°F) and max 39.8°C (103.6°F).

Temperature

May's onset records an average high-temperature of a sweltering 39.8°C (103.6°F), a near match to April's 40.3°C (104.5°F). Jharpokharia records a marked divergence from the day's high temperatures, with nights in May averaging at a warm 27°C (80.6°F).

Heat index

During May, the heat index is appraised at a life-threatening hot 59°C (138.2°F). Warning: These weather conditions are held as exceedingly treacherous, as heatstroke is a clear threat.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.

Take extra precautions. Fair-skinned individuals may get burned in less than 10 minutes. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, but remember that shade structures may not offer complete protection. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
