Temperature

May records an average high-temperature of a still blisteringly hot 40.5°C (104.9°F), indicating a minor variation from the preceding month. A significant temperature decrease to an average a warm 24.1°C (75.4°F) characterizes Uerechole's nighttime temperatures during May.

Heat index

For most parts of May, the heat index is estimated at a life-threatening hot 52°C (125.6°F). Forewarned: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Ongoing physical activity increases the likelihood of heatstroke.
Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.

UV index

March through May, with an average maximum UV index of 8, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index value of 8 to 10 symbolizes a very high threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.
Note: The maximum daily UV index of 8 in May interprets into the following recommendations:
Ensure safety measures are in place, as skin and eyes are vulnerable to quick damage. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. A hat with a generous brim can prevent nearly 50% of UV rays from reaching your eyes.
