Temperature

May's arrival brings an average high-temperature of a still fiery hot 37.5°C (99.5°F), demonstrating subtle variation from the preceding month. Badara records a steady low-temperature average of 26°C (78.8°F) during May.

Heat index

In May, the average heat index is appraised at a burning hot 48°C (118.4°F). Beware: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are on the cards. Heatstroke could result from sustained physical activity.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

Always stay safe. Unprotected skin and eyes can get damaged rapidly. Stay out of direct sunlight between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide complete protection. Equip yourself with UVA and UVB-filtering sunglasses on clear, sunny days.
