The heat index for May is estimated at a hot 87.8°F (31°C). Enduring exposure and continuous activity might cause a feeling of tiredness and induce heat cramps.It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
