Temperature

May denotes a minimal variation in the average high-temperature to a still sweltering 35.2°C (95.4°F) from April's 35.5°C (95.9°F). Nanguneri records an average temperature drop to a warm 26.7°C (80.1°F) in May.

Heat index

May's average heat index is computed to be a life-threatening hot 47°C (116.6°F). Beware: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are on the cards. Heatstroke could result from sustained physical activity.
Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
