Heat index

The heat index for May is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 44°C (111.2°F). Watchful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are predicted. Continued exertion could lead to heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in May is 84%.

Avert overexposure. Light-skinned people might experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. Limit sun-induced ocular harm with sunglasses that feature UVA and UVB filtration.
