Temperature

The transition into May shows a subtle variation to a still tropical 32.6°C (90.7°F) from April's 32.3°C (90.1°F) in the average high-temperature. During May, the temperature is averaged to a low of 24.3°C (75.7°F) at night.

Heat index

The heat index for May is computed to be a blazing hot 47°C (116.6°F). Take caution: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may be imminent with ongoing effort.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in May is 80%.

Note: The maximum UV index of 7 during May leads to these instructions:
Incorporate safeguards and honour sun safety principles. Protection from skin and eye damage is obligatory. Stay out of direct sunlight between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide complete 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.
