Weather in May
Temperature
The beginning of May brings a minor change in the average high-temperature, shifting from a torrid 36°C (96.8°F) in April to a hot 32.7°C (90.9°F). Throughout the month of May, the average temperature dips to a pleasant 21.5°C (70.7°F) at night.Heat index
During May, the heat index is estimated at a blistering 43°C (109.4°F). Be on the lookout: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Continued exertion can result in heatstroke.When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
