Weather in May
Temperature

The heat index value for May is appraised at a sweltering 35°C (95°F). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
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. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. 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 body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
