Temperature

May's advent denotes a minor fluctuation in the average high-temperature to a still very hot 39.4°C (102.9°F) from April's 39.7°C (103.5°F). During May, Ketugram's temperature falls to a steady low-temperature average of 28.3°C (82.9°F).

Heat index

The heat index value for May is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 56°C (132.8°F). Warning: These weather conditions are considered as extremely dangerous, as heatstroke is imminent.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. 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 way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
