Heat index

May's heat index is evaluated at a burning hot 50°C (122°F). Note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke can follow with prolonged activity.
Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.

In May, the average relative humidity is 79%.

Steer clear of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can be scorched in less than 20 minutes. Remember that UV radiation from the Sun is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to limit direct sun exposure during this time. In bright sunlight, prioritize sunglasses that grant protection from UVA and UVB radiation.
