Weather in May
Temperature
May, having an average high-temperature of 31.8°C (89.2°F) and an average low-temperature of 22.3°C (72.1°F), is the warmest month.Heat index
May's mean heat index is estimated at a burning hot 46°C (114.8°F). Take note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke can occur with prolonged effort.The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.
