Weather in May
Temperature
May is the warmest month, exhibiting average temperatures of 34.8°C (94.6°F) at the peak and 29.6°C (85.3°F) at the base.Heat index
May's average heat index is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 48°C (118.4°F). Be careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may result from extended activity.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
