Temperature

The introduction of May notes a subtle temperature variation to a still hot 30.4°C (86.7°F) from April's 31.2°C (88.2°F). In May, Kaka experiences an average nighttime temperature of 25.3°C (77.5°F).

Heat index

May's heat index is estimated at a fiery hot 39°C (102.2°F). Exercise special caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Prolonged activity may induce heatstroke.
In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree 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 especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

Steer clear of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can be scorched in less than 20 minutes. Stay out of direct sunlight and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest, but remember that shade devices may not offer full sun protection. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
