Heat index

The heat index value for May is computed to be a burning hot 61°C (141.8°F). Warning: These weather conditions are identified as extremely risky, heatstroke is imminent.
Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. When relative humidity is heightened, it slows the rate of evaporation, thereby decreasing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a sensation of overheating. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.

Protection should always be a priority. Skin and eyes are vulnerable without it. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is particularly strong, noting that parasols or canopies may not offer total sun protection. Always opt for UVA and UVB-resistant sunglasses on radiant days. A broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30+ should be liberally applied and re-applied every two hours, and immediately after an outdoor workout or a swim.
