Heat index

May's mean heat index is estimated at a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.
From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. 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 'real feel', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 85%.
