May weather forecast
Daloa, Ivory Coast

May witnesses a pronounced variation in weather conditions. The city's highest level of humidity is recorded at 80%, a considerable spike from April. Temperature ranges resemble that of April, indicating consistency. Intriguingly, despite the pervasive precipitation, daylight hours augment slightly. However, the quantity of cloud cover significantly increases, hampering visibility.

Temperature

The onset of May marks an average high-temperature of a hot 33.7°C (92.7°F), hardly differing from April's 35.3°C (95.5°F). In May, Daloa experiences an average nighttime temperature of 22.3°C (72.1°F).

Heat index

For May, the heat index is calculated to be a blazing hot 51°C (123.8°F). Be on the lookout: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Continued exertion can result in heatstroke.
It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool 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. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.

Note: The maximum UV index, 6 during May, leads to the following recommendations:
Ward off overexposure. Defence against solar harm is crucial. Limit direct sun exposure especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun.
