Weather in May

The last month of the spring, May, is also a fiery hot month in Lere, Chad, with an average temperature varying between 27.6°C (81.7°F) and 37.3°C (99.1°F).

Temperature

With the onset of May, the average high-temperature stands at a sweltering 37.3°C (99.1°F), closely aligned with April's 40.1°C (104.2°F). In the month of May, Lere's average low-temperature falls to a moderately hot 27.6°C (81.7°F).

Heat index

Throughout May, the heat index is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 44°C (111.2°F). Caution: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Sustained activity could lead to heatstroke.
Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. 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. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

In May, the average relative humidity is 45%.

Rainfall

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are February through May, with an average maximum UV index of 8. A UV Index value of 8 to 10 symbolizes a very high health risk from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: The daily high UV index of 8 in May translates into this advice:
Always remain cautious. Unprotected skin and eyes are prone to swift harm. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. Sunglasses that guard against UVA and UVB rays are pivotal in minimizing sun-induced ocular damage.
