Heat index

May's average heat index is appraised at a blistering 43°C (109.4°F). Stay wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Heatstroke can ensue from extended effort.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.

In May, the average relative humidity is 89%.

UV index

May through November, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index in Breves. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: In May, the average maximum UV index of 7 translates into the following recommendations:
Fend off overexposure. Sun protection is vital. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. A hat with a generous brim can prevent nearly 50% of UV rays from reaching your eyes.
