Weather in May

The last month of the pre-monsoon summer, May, is another torrid month in Khulna, India, with temperature in the range of an average low of 27.9°C (82.2°F) and an average high of 37.8°C (100°F).

Temperature

In the transition from April to May, Khulna reports an average high-temperature of a still sweltering 37.8°C (100°F), indicating a close resemblance to the prior month. Khulna's average low-temperature during May nights is observed to be a moderately hot 27.9°C (82.2°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in May is computed to be a burning hot 56°C (132.8°F). Warning: These weather conditions are acknowledged as overly dangerous, and heatstroke is inevitable.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual'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 particularly relevant to children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

UV index

Note: A daily maximum UV index of 8 in May translates into the following instructions:
Protection should always be a priority. Skin and eyes are vulnerable without it. Stay in the shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest. Remember, however, that not all shade structures provide full sun protection. For a sun-safe wardrobe, go for clothes that are tightly woven and generously sized.
