Heat index

May's mean heat index is estimated at a tropical 86°F (30°C). With constant exposure and activity, a state of weariness might ensue, leading to potential heat cramps.
Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
