May's average heat index is calculated to be a tropical 86°F (30°C). A sense of exhaustion might occur with extended exposure and activity, potentially causing heat cramps.Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
