Heat index

In May, the heat index is computed to be a life-threatening hot 51°C (123.8°F). Stay vigilant: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke may follow prolonged exertion.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. 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 largely significant for babies and toddlers. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Note: The daily high UV index of 6 during May translates into the following recommendations:
Evade overexposure. Individuals with fair skin risk burning in under 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the period of highest UV radiation. Remember, however, that not all shade structures offer full protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
