Heat index

May's average heat index is estimated at a life-threatening hot 48°C (118.4°F). Mindful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are to be expected. Extended physical effort might result in heatstroke.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.

Resist overexposure. Safeguarding from solar damage is indispensable.

Sunglasses that guard against UVA and UVB rays are pivotal in minimizing sun-induced ocular damage.
