Heat index

The heat index value during May is estimated at a sweltering 37°C (98.6°F). Ensure additional precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

The average relative humidity in May is 80%.

Stand by precautions and apply sun safety measures. Evading sunburn is of great importance. The time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. is when UV radiation is at its peak. Limit exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. Arm yourself against UV rays' harm with protective apparel and UV-filtering shades.
