Heat index

During May, the heat index is estimated at a sweltering 98.6°F (37°C). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 74%.

Note: The maximum daily UV index of 7 in May interprets into the following recommendations:
Sustain precautions and conform to sun safety norms. Preventing sunburn is necessary. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. Limit sun-induced ocular harm with sunglasses that feature UVA and UVB filtration.
