Temperature

Tuschen marks the start of May with an average high-temperature of a still hot 30.5°C (86.9°F), hinting at a slight fluctuation from April's 30.8°C (87.4°F). An average low-temperature of 23.1°C (73.6°F) marks the nights throughout May.

Heat index

The average heat index in May is appraised at a blisteringly hot 40°C (104°F). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.
Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in May in Tuschen is 82%.

Note: The daily high UV index of 6 in May translates into this advice:
Evade overexposure. Individuals with fair skin risk burning in under 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
