Weather in May
Temperature
The weather during May records an average high-temperature of a still sweltering 36.2°C (97.2°F), closely mirroring the preceding month. The month of May records an average low-temperature of 25.2°C (77.4°F) in Garimbomb.Heat index
The heat index in May is calculated to be a blazing hot 48°C (118.4°F). Mindful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are to be expected. Extended physical effort might result in heatstroke.Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

Sunshine

In May, the average daily maximum UV index is 7. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.Note: In May, the maximum UV index of 7 suggests these recommendations:
Eschew overexposure. Those with light skin may suffer burns in fewer than 20 minutes. The Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. Sunglasses that guard against UVA and UVB rays are pivotal in minimizing sun-induced ocular damage.
