Heat index

The heat index in May is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 48°C (118.4°F). Stay watchful: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are likely. Ongoing effort may cause heatstroke.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. 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.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.

The average relative humidity in May is 80%.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are January through May, October through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: The UV index of 7 during May translates into the following guidance:
Beware of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals risk burning in less than 20 minutes. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., UV radiation is strongest. Make an effort to avoid direct sunlight during this time, remembering that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
