Temperature

May stands out as Musiri's warmest month, with an average high-temperature of 38.5°C (101.3°F) and a low-temperature of 28.4°C (83.1°F).

Heat index

The heat index value during May is evaluated at a blazing hot 51°C (123.8°F). Warning: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Heatstroke is a risk with ongoing activity.
The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Always use protective measures; unprotected skin might suffer damage in a short span. During the period from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., UV radiation is highest. Try to avoid direct sunlight during these hours. Sunglasses that guard against UVA and UVB rays are pivotal in minimizing sun-induced ocular damage.
