Heat index

May's mean heat index is estimated at a burning hot 54°C (129.2°F). Notice: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued strenuous activity might lead to heatstroke.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. 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. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

Humidity

April and May, with an average relative humidity of 40%, are the least humid months.
