Temperature

Mahalé marks the onset of May with an average high-temperature of a still torrid 35.6°C (96.1°F), subtly divergent from April's 37.4°C (99.3°F). Throughout May, Mahalé notes a dramatic plunge from the daily high to an average low-temperature of 22.8°C (73°F).

Heat index

In May, the heat index is evaluated at a burning hot 48°C (118.4°F). Forewarned: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Ongoing physical activity increases the likelihood of heatstroke.
When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 62%.

Note: The average daily UV index of 7 in May transforms into the following instructions:
Stay clear of intense sun exposure. Solar protection is of utmost significance. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Select sunglasses that boast both UVA and UVB protection to limit the adverse effects of the sun on the eyes.
