Heat index

Throughout May, the heat index is estimated at a scorching 44°C (111.2°F). Careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. With ongoing exertion, heatstroke becomes a possibility.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

Note: The daily high UV index of 7 in May translates into this advice:
Shun overexposure. Protection from sun ravages is indispensable. 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. Using UVA and UVB-protective sunglasses and sun-protective clothing is effective against UV radiation.
