May presents itself with a significant amount of rainfall, change in humidity, and a slight rise in temperature, making it an important month for
Raga's climate. This increase in moisture sustains the region's rich biodiversity while providing respite from the increasing temperatures. Despite the rain, the daylight hours remain constant, making it an ideal month for activities that do not mind the accompanying moisture in the air. With the bloom of the season, Raga's landscapes transform into vibrant vistas of flora and fauna.
Temperature
May reports an average high-temperature of a still very hot 35.1°C (95.2°F), slightly varied from
April's 37.5°C (99.5°F). Raga's average nighttime temperatures present a clear contrast to its daytime highs, measured at an agreeable 22.2°C (72°F) in May.
Heat index
The heat index value during May is appraised at a blazing hot 48°C (118.4°F).
Remain cautious: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are foreseeable. Ongoing activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
Humidity
The average relative humidity in May is 65%.
