Temperature

Logo indicates an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 29.9°C (85.8°F) in May, showing minor variation from April's 31.4°C (88.5°F). Logo's temperature lowers to a mean of 19.9°C (67.8°F) during the nights in May.

Heat index

The heat index value for May is calculated to be a torrid 36°C (96.8°F). Implement enhanced safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Sustained activity might result in heatstroke.
When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.

Note: A maximum high UV index of 6 in May translates into the following recommendations:
Implement precautions and maintain sun safety methods. Avoidance of sunburn is demanded. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. Combat UV radiation's detrimental effects with sun-safe clothing and UV-blocking eyewear.
