May, the last month of the pre-monsoon summer in
Kamshet, is another very hot month, with an average temperature varying between 36.9°C (98.4°F) and 22.4°C (72.3°F).
Temperature
Kamshet marks the onset of May with an average high-temperature of a still fiery hot 36.9°C (98.4°F), a subtle shift from
April's 37.7°C (99.9°F). Kamshet registers a prominent dip from daytime highs, with an average of 22.4°C (72.3°F) during the nights of May.
Heat index
The heat index for May is estimated at a life-threatening hot 45°C (113°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 exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. 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 hold particular importance for children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
