Heat index

The heat index in May is estimated at a very hot 39°C (102.2°F). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. 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 quite important for children. 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.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

On sunny days, it's ideal to wear sunglasses that filter out UVA and UVB rays.
