The transition into May marks the average high-temperature at a hot 33.7°C (92.7°F), differing minimally from April's 35°C (95°F). Throughout the nights in May, an average low-temperature of 24.4°C (75.9°F) is noted.

Heat index

The average heat index in May is computed to be a blistering 41°C (105.8°F). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.
Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. 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. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids often lack the knowledge about the necessity to take breaks and consume liquids. Thirst, as a late symptom of dehydration, necessitates the maintenance of hydration, particularly during enduring physical activities.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.
Note: A daily high UV index of 7 in May leads to these guidelines:
Take precautions against overexposure. Protection against sun damage is needed. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., UV radiation is strongest. Make an effort to avoid direct sunlight during this time, remembering that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Combat UV radiation's detrimental effects with sun-safe clothing and UV-blocking eyewear.
