Heat index

During May, the heat index is appraised at a burning hot 49°C (120.2°F). Be cautious: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a possible consequence of continuous physical effort.
Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.

Your best bet for sun defense on the face, eyes, and neck is a hat with a wide brim.
