Weather in May
Temperature
May's onset introduces a mild reduction in the average high-temperature, from a torrid 37.7°C (99.9°F) in April to a tropical 34.3°C (93.7°F). In May, the average low-temperature is a moderately hot 23.8°C (74.8°F).Heat index
The heat index in May is estimated at a burning hot 52°C (125.6°F). Mindful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are to be expected. Extended physical effort might result in heatstroke.In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Juveniles are regularly less conscious of the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a tardy symptom of dehydration - hydration, especially during lengthy physical activities, should be maintained.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
