Temperature

May, noted for its average high-temperature of 36°C (96.8°F) and an average low-temperature of 23.3°C (73.9°F), is considered the warmest month.

Heat index

Throughout May, the heat index is estimated at a burning hot 50°C (122°F). Prudent: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Heatstroke becomes imminent with sustained exertion.
When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
