May weather forecast
Venkatagirikota, India

The last month of the pre-monsoon summer, May, is another very hot month in Venkatagirikota, India, with temperature in the range of an average high of 35°C (95°F) and an average low of 24.5°C (76.1°F).

Temperature

The onset of May marks an average high-temperature of a still torrid 35°C (95°F), hardly differing from April's 35.2°C (95.4°F). An average low-temperature of 24.5°C (76.1°F) is noted during the nights in May.

Heat index

May's heat index is evaluated at a blistering 41°C (105.8°F). Take special precautions - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke may occur with lengthy activity.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in May is 50%.

Take precautions against overexposure. Fair-skinned people may get burned in less than 20 minutes. The time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. is when UV radiation is at its peak. Limit exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. Counter UV radiation's ill effects with clothing designed for sun safety and UV-resistant eyewear.
