Temperature

May is the month that records the highest temperatures, with averages ranging from a high of 37.1°C (98.8°F) to a low of 27.5°C (81.5°F).

Heat index

In May, the average heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 56°C (132.8°F). Warning: These weather conditions are seen as exceedingly treacherous, heatstroke is on the horizon.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful 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.
Perspiring is a crucial mechanism for the human body, allowing it to release excessive warmth through evaporating sweat. 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. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

Skin and eyes are vulnerable without protection. Ensure you always take precautions. Stay out of direct sunlight and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest, but remember that shade devices may not offer full sun protection. For effective sun eye protection, rely on sunglasses certified for UVA and UVB resistance.
