May weather forecast
Dimbokro, Ivory Coast

May, typically recognized as a characteristic monsoon month, brings forth intensified weather components, principally concerning the aspects of cloud cover and rainfall. The contributed statistics reflect this, with a conspicuous increase in relative humidity to 79% and a striking rainfall quantity elevation to 99mm (3.9"). Simultaneously, the latter end of the temperature spectrum witnesses a slight drop commensurate with the rainfall rise. Daylight hours and sunshine duration remain quite stagnant, mirrored precisely by the UV index. The thriving winds travelling at steady speeds aid in diffusing the moisture content in the air, thereby keeping the humidity levels in check to some extent.

Temperature

May's weather displays an average high-temperature of a hot 34.3°C (93.7°F), slightly varied from April's 36°C (96.8°F). Dimbokro records a mean low-temperature of 23°C (73.4°F) in May.

Heat index

During May, the heat index is calculated to be a blazing hot 53°C (127.4°F). Stay wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Heatstroke can ensue from extended effort.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. 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 essentially critical for children. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.

Take precautions and utilize sun safety practices. Protection against skin and eye damage is required. Stay out of direct sunlight and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest, but remember that shade devices may not offer full sun protection. Limit sun-induced ocular harm with sunglasses that feature UVA and UVB filtration.
