Weather in May
Temperature
May and October are the warmest months, with an average high-temperature of 30.3°C (86.5°F).Heat index
The heat index in May is evaluated at a sweltering 37°C (98.6°F). Take more preventive steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is elevated. Long activity may culminate in heatstroke.Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Youngsters frequently overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is an advanced sign of dehydration - thereby highlighting the importance of keeping hydrated, particularly during long physical activities.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
