Heat index

In May, the average heat index is evaluated at a burning hot 48°C (118.4°F). Stay wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Heatstroke can ensue from extended effort.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Juveniles are regularly less conscious of the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a tardy symptom of dehydration - hydration, especially during lengthy physical activities, should be maintained.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

In May, the average relative humidity is 80%.

Refrain from overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals could burn in under 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide full protection. Stay sun-safe with clothing that is both closely woven and worn loosely.
