The heat index value for May is estimated at a hot 89.6°F (32°C). Prolonged exposure combined with continuous activity could lead to exhaustion, and possibly heat cramps.One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital 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.
