Weather in May

Heatstroke is a possible danger with ongoing physical activity.In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
