Soudore, Togo

The last month of the spring, May, is also a sweltering month in Soudore, Togo, with an average temperature varying between 35.3°C (95.5°F) and 24.6°C (76.3°F).

Temperature

The commencement of May introduces an average high-temperature of a still torrid 35.3°C (95.5°F), closely mirroring the preceding month. An average low-temperature of 24.6°C (76.3°F) is noted during the month of May.

Heat index

In May, the heat index is estimated at a burning hot 46°C (114.8°F). Heed: Expect heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continued action may cause heatstroke.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. 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. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
