For May, the heat index is evaluated at a hot 89.6°F (32°C). Persistently participating in activities during exposure may lead to fatigue and induce heat cramps.Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
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.

Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
