The average heat index in May is estimated at a sweltering 39°C (102.2°F). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.
It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. 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 extremely significant for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.

Note: The maximum daily UV index of 7 in May converts into the following recommendations:
Refrain from overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals could burn in under 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
