May,
June,
August through November, peaking at 30.7°C (87.3°F).
Heat index
In November, the heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 41°C (105.8°F). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.

Carry out every crucial safety measure. People with fair skin may sustain burns in fewer than 5 minutes. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation. Limit direct exposure to the Sun during these hours. Prioritize a wide-brim hat for comprehensive sun defense for your face, neck, eyes, and ears. After a swim or an outdoor workout, generously apply and reapply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen. Heads up! The reflection of sand and water notably intensifies UV rays from the Sun.
