Weather in May

Throughout May, the heat index is computed to be a tropical 91.4°F (33°C). Extra safeguards are necessary to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Prolonged activity might cause heatstroke.Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. 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.
