The arrival of May coincides with an average high-temperature of a still very hot 38.5°C (101.3°F), indicating a minimal shift from April's 38.7°C (101.7°F). In May, the temperature drops to an average of 27.5°C (81.5°F) at night.

Heat index

May's mean heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 50°C (122°F). Take note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke can occur with prolonged effort.
In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. 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. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.

Take special precautions, as unprotected skin can be damaged and can burn quickly. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the period of highest UV radiation. Remember, however, that not all shade structures offer full protection. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
