For most parts of May, the heat index is estimated at a hot 89.6°F (32°C). Enduring exposure and continuous activity might cause a feeling of tiredness and induce heat cramps.The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. 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 primarily vital for children. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
