May weather forecast
Bonzi, Ivory Coast

The last month of the spring, May, is another tropical month in Bonzi, Ivory Coast, with an average temperature ranging between min 22.8°C (73°F) and max 34.3°C (93.7°F).

Temperature

With the start of May, Bonzi measures an average high-temperature of a hot 34.3°C (93.7°F), not significantly differing from April's 36.1°C (97°F). Bonzi registers a consistent average low-temperature of 22.8°C (73°F) during May.

Heat index

In May, the heat index is calculated to be a burning hot 52°C (125.6°F). Stay watchful: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are likely. Ongoing effort may cause heatstroke.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are January through May, October through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: The maximum daily UV index of 7 in May converts into the following recommendations:
Prevent overexposure. Protection from the sun's harmful effects is needed. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Safeguard your eyes, ears, and face from sun rays with the aid of a wide-brim hat.
