Temperature

Heat index

Throughout May, the heat index is appraised at 84.2°F (29°C). Long-lasting exposure and activity potentially induce a sense of weariness, with the risk of heat cramps.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. 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 remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
