The warmest period is May, when temperatures fluctuate between an average high of 33.6°C (92.5°F) and a low of 24.8°C (76.6°F).

Heat index

The heat index value during May is computed to be an extremely hot 44°C (111.2°F). Beware: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are on the cards. Heatstroke could result from sustained physical activity.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in May is 67%.

Uphold preventive measures and conform to sun safety guidelines. Defending against skin and eye harm is crucial. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes. Warning! Reflective surfaces like sand and water amplify the Sun's UV radiation.
