Heat index

May's heat index is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 44°C (111.2°F). Be wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are highly anticipated. With continued activity, heatstroke is very likely.
When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. 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 primarily vital for children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.

Humidity

May and July, with an average relative humidity of 62%, are the least humid months.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are April through October, with an average maximum UV index of 8. A UV Index estimate of 8 to 10 represents a very high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.
Note: The maximum daily UV index of 8 in May interprets into the following recommendations:
Always stay safe. Unprotected skin and eyes can get damaged rapidly. Avoid direct exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, noting that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer complete sun protection. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
