Heat index

During May, the heat index is evaluated at a torrid 37°C (98.6°F). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.

Humidity

May and June, with an average relative humidity of 80%, are the least humid months.
