Temperature

May is Gondal's warmest month, registering average high temperatures of 40.9°C (105.6°F) and lows of 26.9°C (80.4°F).

Heat index

During May, the heat index is estimated at a blazing hot 53°C (127.4°F). Note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke can follow with prolonged activity.
Be informed that the heat index values are oriented around shady conditions and gentle breezes. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. 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. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Sun protection is enhanced with clothing that boasts a tight weave yet offers a loose fit.
