Heat index

For May, the heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 48°C (118.4°F). Be careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may result from extended activity.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. 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 extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 45%.

UV index

March through May, with an average maximum UV index of 8, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index reading of 8 to 10 represents a very high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.
Note: The UV index of 8 during May leads to these advisories:
Always stay safe. Unprotected skin and eyes can get damaged rapidly. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. Opt for tightly woven and loose clothing to enhance protection from the Sun.
