Weather in May
Temperature
May indicates a minor shift in the average high-temperature, from April's blisteringly hot 41.1°C (106°F) to a very hot 37.1°C (98.8°F). May nights cool down to an average low-temperature of 27.1°C (80.8°F).Heat index
For most parts of May, the heat index is calculated to be a blazing hot 45°C (113°F). Be cautious: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a possible consequence of continuous physical effort.Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.

Sunshine

The average daily maximum UV index in May is 7. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.Note: The maximum UV index of 7 during May translates into these guidelines:
Shield from overexposure. Defense against sun-related harm is required. Avoid direct exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, noting that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer complete sun protection. Sunglasses providing both UVA and UVB protection are non-negotiable on sunlit days.
