Temperature

May is the month when Radi's temperatures reach their peak, with averages of 33.8°C (92.8°F) and lows of 22.5°C (72.5°F).

Heat index

The heat index value during May is computed to be a blazing hot 46°C (114.8°F). Be on the lookout: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Continued exertion can result in heatstroke.
It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

Avoid excessive sunlight. Those with lighter skin may experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide full protection. For optimum UV protection, wear sun-resistant attire complemented with a hat and quality shades.
