Weather in May
May, the last month of the pre-monsoon summer in Bhavnagar, is also a sweltering month, with an average temperature ranging between min 25.9°C (78.6°F) and max 39.4°C (102.9°F).
The perfect water temperature of 29.1°C (84.4°F) with 4mm (0.16") of accumulated rainfall and only 1 rainfall days, makes May a great period for swimming and other water activities.
When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
Note: Water activities in surface temperatures between 25°C (77°F) and 29°C (84.2°F) are seen as exceptional and extremely agreeable for lengthened time spans.
On the first day of the month, sunrise is at 6:09 am and sunset at 7:07 pm. On the last day of May, sunrise is at 5:58 am and sunset at 7:20 pm IST.
