Weather in May
Temperature
May, with an average high of 29.9°C (85.8°F) and a low of 27.2°C (81°F), signifies the warmest month of the year.Heat index
The heat index in May is estimated at a sweltering 36°C (96.8°F). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.Be informed that the heat index values are oriented around shady conditions and gentle breezes. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. 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 extremely significant for children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

Take precautions against overexposure. Fair-skinned people may get burned in less than 20 minutes. To the best of your ability, limit your exposure to the sun between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. A hat with a generous brim can prevent nearly 50% of UV rays from reaching your eyes. Heed this! UV intensity is much stronger when reflected off sand and water.
