Heat index

For May, the heat index is evaluated at a torrid 39°C (102.2°F). Implement additional preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Heatstroke could follow prolonged activity.
It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 76%.

Avoid excessive sunlight. Those with lighter skin may experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is at its strongest, and remember that parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. A wide-brimmed hat provides unparalleled sun protection for sensitive areas like the eyes, ears, and neck.
