Weather in May
Temperature
Taif's warmest weather arrives in May, when temperatures average a high of 41.4°C (106.5°F) and a low of 21.2°C (70.2°F).Heat index
For May, the heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 53°C (127.4°F). Be wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are highly anticipated. With continued activity, heatstroke is very likely.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. 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 are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

A UV Index estimate of 8 to 10 represents a very high health hazard from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.Note: The maximum daily UV index of 8 in May interprets into the following recommendations:
Immediate care is essential; skin and eyes can be harmed in no time without it. The Sun's UV radiation is most powerful between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. To the extent possible, limit exposure to the direct sun during these hours. Using UVA and UVB-protective sunglasses and sun-protective clothing is effective against UV radiation.
