Heat index

The average heat index in May is computed to be a life-threatening hot 51°C (123.8°F). Remain cautious: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are foreseeable. Ongoing activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. 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 highly important for children. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in May is 75%.

Prevent overexposure. Protection from the sun's harmful effects is needed. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
