The dawn of May sees an average high-temperature of a still torrid 35°C (95°F), subtly contrasting with April's 36.9°C (98.4°F). Throughout May, an average low-temperature of 23.4°C (74.1°F) is experienced.

Heat index

For most parts of May, the heat index is evaluated at a blazing hot 49°C (120.2°F). Keep wary: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a possible outcome of ongoing activity.
From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their 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. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.

Incorporate safeguards and honour sun safety principles. Protection from skin and eye damage is obligatory.

By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
