Temperature

As May unfolds, the average high-temperature reaches a tropical 34.3°C (93.7°F), hinting at a slight fluctuation from the previous month. An average low-temperature of 25.9°C (78.6°F) is anticipated throughout the nights during May.

Heat index

The heat index in May is computed to be a burning hot 51°C (123.8°F). Remain alert: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Extended effort can lead to heatstroke.
Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.

UV index

Note: In May, the maximum UV index of 7 suggests this advice:
Evade overexposure. Individuals with fair skin risk burning in under 20 minutes. Seek shade and limit direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but be aware that not all shade structures provide complete sun protection. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
