The average heat index in May is appraised at a hot 91.4°F (33°C). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
