Heat index

May's heat index is estimated at a life-threatening hot 48°C (118.4°F). Take note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke can occur with prolonged effort.
Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. 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 disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.

Note: An average UV index of 8 in May transforms into this advice:
Take special precautions, as unprotected skin can be damaged and can burn quickly. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, but remember that shade structures may not offer complete protection. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
