Heat index

May's heat index is computed to be a fiery hot 35°C (95°F). Adopt heightened safety measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may occur. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.
Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are quite important for children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.

Stay clear of intense sun exposure. Solar protection is of utmost significance. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Sun protection is enhanced with clothing that boasts a tight weave yet offers a loose fit.
