Weather in May

For most parts of May, the heat index is estimated at a torrid 95°F (35°C). Undertake special precautions, the probability of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Prolonged activity may provoke heatstroke.Heat index specifics point out values are for conditions of shade and a slight breeze. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
When faced with excessive heat, the human body begins to perspire, utilizing the cooling benefits of sweat evaporation. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.
