The last month of the pre-monsoon summer, May, is also a sweltering month in Shikrapur, India, with an average temperature fluctuating between 23.6°C (74.5°F) and 37.2°C (99°F).

Temperature

The onset of May manifests an average high-temperature of a still torrid 37.2°C (99°F), demonstrating a minor variation from the preceding month. A sharp divergence from daytime highs is noted during the month of May, with the average nighttime temperature settling at a moderately hot 23.6°C (74.5°F).

Heat index

The heat index in May is appraised at a life-threatening hot 46°C (114.8°F). Be wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are highly anticipated. With continued activity, heatstroke is very likely.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.

Shade structures might not provide complete sun protection. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
