Temperature

The advent of May presents an average high-temperature of a still fiery hot 37.7°C (99.9°F), maintaining a close correlation with the preceding month. The mean low-temperature during May nights is a moderately hot 26.3°C (79.3°F).

Heat index

May's mean heat index is estimated at a burning hot 45°C (113°F). Take heed: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Heatstroke is a potential outcome of continuous activity.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. 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 quite important for babies and toddlers. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are March through May, with an average maximum UV index of 8. A UV Index estimate of 8 to 10 represents a very high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: The maximum UV index of 8 during May translates into these guidelines:
Always use protective measures; unprotected skin might suffer damage in a short span. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
