The weather conditions observed in May indicate a seasonal climax with minimal changes in parameters such as temperature, pressure, and wind speed. Despite the steady weather parameters, May is a time of transition towards much dryer seasons. As June approaches, Loukoléla will experience substantial shifts in weather patterns, particularly noticeable in temperature and rainfall.

Temperature

With the transition into May, Loukoléla notes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.4°C (88.5°F), closely resembling April. Throughout the nights in May, Loukoléla experiences an average low-temperature of 22.7°C (72.9°F).

Heat index

In May, the heat index is calculated to be a blistering 41°C (105.8°F). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
