May, the last month of the spring in Vangale, is also a moderately hot month, with temperature in the range of an average low of 62.6°F (17°C) and an average high of 85.5°F (29.7°C).

Temperature

Entering May, Vangale notices a subtle temperature elevation, with the average high-temperature advancing from April's moderately hot 77.7°F (25.4°C) to a still warm 85.5°F (29.7°C). Despite a noticeable differential from daytime highs, Vangale notes an average nighttime low-temperature of 62.6°F (17°C) in May.

Heat index

For most parts of May, the heat index is computed to be a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
