May weather forecast
Kalyan, India

May signifies the advent of heavy monsoons in Kalyan, India creating a distinct shift in the city's climate. Despite slightly lower temperatures compared to April, rainfall increases to 3mm (0.12"), presenting a clear departure from the preceding month. The frequency of rain days considerably heightens, creating a distinctly wet environment. Additionally, a palpable increase in cloud coverage during May is worth noting. Entering June, the city braces itself for an even higher surge in rainfall coupled with enhanced wind speeds.

Temperature

The beginning of May reveals an average high-temperature of a still fiery hot 36.4°C (97.5°F), showing minimal deviation from the previous month. During the nights in May, Kalyan experiences a consistent average temperature of 26°C (78.8°F).

Heat index

In May, the average heat index is appraised at a burning hot 50°C (122°F). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are quite likely. Heatstroke becomes a risk with continued exertion.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
