Heat index

For May, the heat index is evaluated at an extremely hot 40°C (104°F). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.

The average relative humidity in May is 79%.
