May's heat index is computed to be a tropical 93.2°F (34°C). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment.
