Heat index

The heat index for May is appraised at a blazing hot 59°C (138.2°F). Warning: These weather conditions are assessed as supremely perilous, heatstroke is imminent.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. 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. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in May is 62%.

Rainfall

In May, the rain falls for 6.3 days. Throughout May, 31mm (1.22") of precipitation is accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 106.7 rainfall days, and 280mm (11.02") of precipitation is accumulated.

UV index

March through May, with an average maximum UV index of 8, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index value of 8 to 10 symbolizes a very high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: The UV index of 8 during May leads to these advisories:
Be proactive in protecting yourself; skin and eyes can be harmed if left unprotected. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun.
