Temperature

May brings the highest temperatures, with an average high of 41.8°C (107.2°F) and an average low of 29.2°C (84.6°F).

Heat index

For most parts of May, the heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 60°C (140°F). Warning: These weather conditions are held as exceedingly treacherous, as heatstroke is a clear threat.
It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

Always take precautions; unprotected eyes and skin can be damaged rapidly. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. For optimum UV protection, wear sun-resistant attire complemented with a hat and quality shades.
