Temperature

Entering May, the average high-temperature is recorded at a still blisteringly hot 41.3°C (106.3°F), exhibiting a minimal shift from April's 42.1°C (107.8°F). Jumbembem's nighttime temperature in May demonstrates a noticeable plunge to a warm 23.8°C (74.8°F).

Heat index

During May, the heat index is computed to be a life-threatening hot 54°C (129.2°F). Keep guard: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued activity increases the risk of heatstroke.
Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

Never be careless. Unprotected skin and eyes can be harmed swiftly. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. Equip yourself with UVA and UVB-filtering sunglasses on clear, sunny days.
