Temperature

May is the warmest month of the year, registering average temperatures as high as 31.6°C (88.9°F) and as low as 25.3°C (77.5°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in May is estimated at an extremely hot 43°C (109.4°F). Keep wary: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a possible outcome of ongoing activity.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. 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', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

Undertake protective measures and comply with sun safety rules. Shielding against skin and eye damage is essential.

Limit sun-induced ocular harm with sunglasses that feature UVA and UVB filtration.
