Weather in May

Temperature

With an average high-temperature of 31.3°C (88.3°F) and an average low-temperature of 26.3°C (79.3°F), May is the warmest month.

Heat index

The average heat index in May is evaluated at an extremely hot 40°C (104°F). Heightened safety actions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may lead to heatstroke.
Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
