Heat index

The heat index for May is evaluated at a blazing hot 48°C (118.4°F). Notice: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued strenuous activity might lead to heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in May 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 health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the average person.
Note: In May, a regular UV index of 8 translates into these guidelines:
Take extra precautions. Protection against sun damage is required. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest, limit direct exposure to the Sun and note that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
