Weather in May
Temperature
As April turns into May, the average high-temperatures rest at a still hot 30.8°C (87.4°F), showing a minor variation from the prior month. Bésoukoudou experiences a mean low-temperature of 24.5°C (76.1°F) during May.Heat index
In May, the average heat index is calculated to be a very hot 39°C (102.2°F). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
