Temperature

May's arrival brings an average high-temperature of a still sweltering 38.9°C (102°F), slightly deviating from April's 39.3°C (102.7°F). Throughout the month of May, Sahaganj observes an average nighttime temperature of 28°C (82.4°F).

Heat index

May's heat index is estimated at a burning hot 58°C (136.4°F). Warning: These weather conditions are regarded as tremendously dangerous, with imminent heatstroke.
Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 60%.

Rainfall

In Sahaganj, India, in May, during 10.3 rainfall days, 44mm (1.73") of precipitation is typically accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 128.2 rainfall days, and 457mm (17.99") of precipitation is accumulated.

UV index

March through June, with an average maximum UV index of 8, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index of 8 to 10 symbolizes a very high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: The daily maximum UV index of 8 in May interprets into the following advice:
Protection should always be a priority. Skin and eyes are vulnerable without it. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is particularly strong, noting that parasols or canopies may not offer total sun protection. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
