The last month of the pre-monsoon summer, May, is also a fiery hot month in Shenit, India, with an average temperature ranging between max 37.7°C (99.9°F) and min 23.5°C (74.3°F).

Temperature

Shenit marks the onset of May with an average high-temperature of a still sweltering 37.7°C (99.9°F), subtly divergent from April's 38°C (100.4°F). In May, a remarkable difference from daytime highs is noted, as Shenit records an average temperature of 23.5°C (74.3°F) during the night.

Heat index

May's average heat index is estimated at a burning hot 46°C (114.8°F). Keep alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke is a potential danger with continued physical activity.
Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 46%.

Rainfall

Note: The UV index of 7 in May translates into these instructions:
Eschew overexposure. Those with light skin may suffer burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. It's wise to wear UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses when the sun shines brightly.
