Heat index

May's heat index is appraised at a blisteringly hot 40°C (104°F). Emphasize additional safety, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is high. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. 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 largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.

Note: In May, a daily maximum UV index of 7 leads to the following instructions:
Apply measures and align with sun safety principles. Safeguarding against skin and eye injury is pivotal. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
