Weather in May
Temperature
May brings the highest temperatures, with an average high of 41.4°C (106.5°F) and an average low of 21.2°C (70.2°F).Heat index
The heat index value for May is evaluated at a blazing hot 53°C (127.4°F). Stay vigilant: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke may follow prolonged exertion.In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant 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 body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
