May weather forecast
Vadodara, India

Vadodara's climatological graph in May remains synonymous with the previous month, yet with a stark distinction in the humidity level. Compared to April, the soaring heat accepts a minuscule drop, still maintaining the summer's demeanor. The escalation in relative humidity to 49% becomes a silver lining, adding an element of relief to the ardent weather. The period marks a cliff before the forthcoming monsoon, gradually escalating the annual rainfall. Despite the scorching sun, the residents acclimate while anticipating the subsequent respite.

Temperature

May is the month that records the highest temperatures, with averages ranging from a high of 40.1°C (104.2°F) to a low of 26.6°C (79.9°F).

Heat index

In May, the average heat index is calculated to be a blazing hot 54°C (129.2°F). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are quite likely. Heatstroke becomes a risk with continued exertion.
Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 49%.
