May weather forecast
Sarh, Chad

As the calendar turns to May, the city of Sarh in Chad steps into the peak of its transition season. With the highest rainfall of the year at 82mm (3.23"), it symbolizes the full swing of the wet season. The temperatures remain hot but are comfortably tempered by the rainfall. The increased humidity and cloud cover amount to a density in the air, setting the stage for the monsoon. The inhabitants and flora alike revitalize in the vivifying downpour that this month brings.

Temperature

The transition into May marks the average high-temperature at a still fiery hot 36.2°C (97.2°F), differing minimally from April's 38.5°C (101.3°F). Sarh undergoes a major shift from daytime highs, averaging a warm 24.1°C (75.4°F) during the night in May.

Heat index

For May, the heat index is estimated at a burning hot 49°C (120.2°F). Be cautious: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a possible consequence of continuous physical effort.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.
