Temperature

With its high average temperature of 30.9°C (87.6°F) and a low of 25.7°C (78.3°F), May is regarded as the warmest month.

Heat index

For most parts of May, the heat index is computed to be a fiery hot 39°C (102.2°F). Implement more safety precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may happen. Persistent activity could induce heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

Note: In May, the maximum UV index of 7 suggests this advice:
Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Avoid direct exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, noting that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer complete sun protection. Employ a hat with a wide brim for robust protection, cutting UV exposure by half.
