Heat index

May's average heat index is calculated to be a torrid 37°C (98.6°F). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.
Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

The average relative humidity in May is 77%.

Note: In May, the maximum UV index of 6 translates into these guidelines:
Shield from overexposure. Defense against sun-related harm is required. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Protect your eyes, ears, face, and neck from the Sun by wearing a wide-brimmed hat.
