The warmest time of the year is May, with temperatures averaging a high of 31.4°C (88.5°F) and a low of 24°C (75.2°F).

Heat index

The heat index for May is calculated to be an extremely hot 43°C (109.4°F). Be cautious: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a possible consequence of continuous physical effort.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
