Weather in May

The last month of the spring, May, is also a hot month in Kaboua, Benin, with an average temperature fluctuating between 33.6°C (92.5°F) and 23.3°C (73.9°F).

Temperature

May's weather displays an average high-temperature of a tropical 33.6°C (92.5°F), slightly varied from April's 36.2°C (97.2°F). May brings Kaboua a consistent average low-temperature of 23.3°C (73.9°F).

Heat index

May's mean heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 46°C (114.8°F). Stay watchful: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are likely. Ongoing effort may cause heatstroke.
Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
