Heat index
For most parts of May, the heat index is evaluated at 29°C (84.2°F). With sustained exposure and activity, exhaustion becomes probable, resulting in heat cramps.
Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
