Weather in May
Temperature
With average high temperatures of 36.8°C (98.2°F) and lows of 29.4°C (84.9°F), May is the warmest month.Heat index
In May, the average heat index is calculated to be a blazing hot 52°C (125.6°F). Notice: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued strenuous activity might lead to heatstroke.Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

April through July, with an average maximum UV index of 8, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index of 8 to 10 symbolizes a very high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.Note: In May, the average maximum UV index of 8 translates into the following recommendations:
With the absence of protection, damage to skin and eyes can occur instantly. Ensure precautions are taken. Limit your exposure to the sun's UV radiation, which is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and note that parasols or canopies may not provide full sun protection. A hat with a generous brim can prevent nearly 50% of UV rays from reaching your eyes.
