Temperature

The commencement of May brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 32.2°C (90°F), marking an inconsequential divergence from April. The low-temperature averages to a moderately hot 23.8°C (74.8°F) during the nights of May.

Heat index

For most parts of May, the heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 46°C (114.8°F). Vigilance: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. The likelihood of heatstroke increases with continued activity.
Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
