The last month of the pre-monsoon summer, May, is another torrid month in Sira, India, with an average temperature fluctuating between 24.9°C (76.8°F) and 35.8°C (96.4°F).

Temperature

Sira experiences a subtle adjustment in high-temperatures to a still very hot 35.8°C (96.4°F) with the onset of May, maintaining near parity with April's 36.6°C (97.9°F). During May, the nighttime temperature in Sira averages to a warm 24.9°C (76.8°F).

Heat index

During May, the heat index is appraised at a blisteringly hot 43°C (109.4°F). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Prolonged effort can result in heatstroke.
When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
