Heat index

Throughout May, the heat index is estimated at a burning hot 59°C (138.2°F). Warning: These weather conditions are judged as exceedingly dangerous, with heatstroke looming.
Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.

In May, the average relative humidity is 67%.

Always be mindful of protection. The risk of damage to skin and eyes is significant if neglected. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun.
