Weather in May

The heat index for May is estimated at an extremely hot 41°C (105.8°F). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.Heat index specifics point out values are for conditions of shade and a slight breeze. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for 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.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
