Heat index

For May, the heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 51°C (123.8°F). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are quite likely. Heatstroke becomes a risk with continued exertion.
Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this 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 high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 75%.

Note: During May, 7 as the daily maximum UV index converts into the following advice:
Avert overexposure. Light-skinned people might experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Counter UV radiation's ill effects with clothing designed for sun safety and UV-resistant eyewear.
