May's heat index is calculated to be 29°C (84.2°F). If activity and exposure persist, they could induce fatigue, leading to possible heat cramps.It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
