Weather in May
Temperature
Entering May, the average high-temperature is recorded at a still warm 29.5°C (85.1°F), exhibiting a minimal shift from April's 29.7°C (85.5°F). Nighttime temperature dips to a mean of 23.3°C (73.9°F) during May.Heat index
For most parts of May, the heat index is computed to be a fiery hot 38°C (100.4°F). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.

Fend off overexposure. Sun protection is vital. The hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. have the most intense UV radiation. As much as possible, limit direct sun exposure during this period. For holistic sun protection encompassing the eyes, ears, face, and neck, a wide-brim hat is key.
