Temperature

The average high-temperature slightly decreases in May, shifting from a torrid 39°C (102.2°F) in April to a still fiery hot 35.2°C (95.4°F). Despite the drastic temperature difference, Tabouna records an average nighttime low of 22.8°C (73°F) throughout May.

Heat index

The heat index in May is computed to be a burning hot 51°C (123.8°F). Be cautious: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a possible consequence of continuous physical effort.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.

Prevent overexposure. Protection from the sun's harmful effects is needed. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Safeguard your eyes, ears, and face from sun rays with the aid of a wide-brim hat.
