Temperature

Toliesso's entry into May measures an average high-temperature of a still tropical 30.5°C (86.9°F), closely parallel to the preceding month. Nighttime temperature dips to a mean of 25.2°C (77.4°F) during May.

Heat index

For May, the heat index is estimated at a blistering 40°C (104°F). Take more preventive steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is elevated. Long activity may culminate in heatstroke.
In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Note: The UV index of 7 during May leads to these advisories:
Take precautions against overexposure. Fair-skinned people may get burned in less than 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide full protection. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects.
