Heat index

During May, the heat index is calculated to be a burning hot 45°C (113°F). Stay vigilant: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke may follow prolonged exertion.
Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

Avoid direct Sun exposure and stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is most intense, noting that not all shade structures offer full protection. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
