This period witnesses a shift not only in terms of showers but also in humidity and sunshine duration. The locale transitions from bright warm days to a blend of warmth, consistent rains, and elevated levels of humidity. As temperature plateaus, the upcoming months of June and July inherit May's weather pattern while injecting their unique elements into the mix.

Heat index

In May, the heat index is calculated to be a blazing hot 51°C (123.8°F). Be careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may result from extended activity.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.
