May, the last month of the spring in Shiroro, is also a sweltering month, with an average temperature ranging between max 36.3°C (97.3°F) and min 25.7°C (78.3°F).

Temperature

The start of May comes with a small reduction in the average high-temperature, subtly receding from 39.3°C (102.7°F) in April to a still torrid 36.3°C (97.3°F). Throughout the nights in May, an average low-temperature of 25.7°C (78.3°F) is noted.

Heat index

The heat index for May is appraised at a burning hot 50°C (122°F). Take note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke can occur with prolonged effort.
When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
