Temperature

As Al Qurayb transitions from April to May, the average high-temperatures adjust to a still tropical 34.2°C (93.6°F), nearly the same as the previous 32.1°C (89.8°F). Al Qurayb observes a slightly reduced average nighttime temperature of 30.5°C (86.9°F) during May.

Heat index

For most parts of May, the heat index is computed to be a scorching 44°C (111.2°F). Stay watchful: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are likely. Ongoing effort may cause heatstroke.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. 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. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.

Remember to safeguard yourself. Rapid damage can occur to skin and eyes without protection. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this time. In the presence of strong sunlight, it's crucial to wear sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays.
