Weather in May
Temperature
The arrival of May sees an average high-temperature of a hot 33.4°C (92.1°F), hardly diverging from April's 35.1°C (95.2°F). Nightly temperatures drop to an average low of 22.2°C (72°F) in May.Heat index
The heat index value for May is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 51°C (123.8°F). Be cautious: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a possible consequence of continuous physical effort.Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.

The average daily maximum UV index in May is 6. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the average person.Note: The UV index of 6 during May translates into the following guidance:
Fend off overexposure. Sun protection is vital. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure to the Sun during this period. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
