May, the last month of the spring in Garalo, is also a sweltering month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 39.4°C (102.9°F) and 26.8°C (80.2°F).

Temperature

The arrival of May denotes a barely perceptible change in the average high-temperatures to a torrid 39.4°C (102.9°F) from April's 40.7°C (105.3°F). Throughout May, Garalo registers a distinct decrease from daytime highs, reaching an average low of 26.8°C (80.2°F).

Heat index

The heat index value for May is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 48°C (118.4°F). Keep on guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is a possible danger with ongoing physical activity.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

Always take precautions; unprotected eyes and skin can be damaged rapidly. Be aware that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and try to reduce direct sun exposure during this period as much as possible. Combat UV radiation's detrimental effects with sun-safe clothing and UV-blocking eyewear.
