With the start of May, the average high-temperature marginally shifts from April's moderately hot 29.2°C (84.6°F) to a hot 33.3°C (91.9°F). With a significant temperature contrast, nighttime temperatures in Ashmun hover around an average low of 17.8°C (64°F) in May.

Heat index

The average heat index in May is computed to be a sweltering 35°C (95°F). Greater safety measures are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Continuous activity might trigger heatstroke.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
