Temperature

The onset of May brings with it an average high-temperature of a still sweltering 37.8°C (100°F), showing a negligible variation from the month before. During May, the average low-temperature in Brahmanbaria is a warm 28.1°C (82.6°F).

Heat index

The heat index value during May is calculated to be a burning hot 52°C (125.6°F). Stay on guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Ongoing effort can cause heatstroke.
Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.

Note: The daily maximum UV index of 8 in May interprets into the following advice:
Being unprotected puts skin and eyes at risk of rapid damage. Always be safe. Limit direct sun exposure especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. A wide-brim hat offers excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck. Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection significantly reduce eye damage from sun exposure.
