The heat index for May is calculated to be a scorching 43°C (109.4°F). Alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely to occur. Prolonged exertion can lead to heatstroke.

Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
