Paris, Congo

The last month of the spring, May, is another tropical month in Paris, Congo, with an average temperature ranging between min 21.8°C (71.2°F) and max 32.8°C (91°F).

Temperature

May registers an average high-temperature of a still hot 32.8°C (91°F), slightly varied from April's 33.9°C (93°F). Paris, during the nights of May, experiences an average temperature drop to a pleasant 21.8°C (71.2°F).

Heat index

For most parts of May, the heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 46°C (114.8°F). Caution: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Sustained activity could lead to heatstroke.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

Use measures and accept sun safety conventions. Guarding against skin and eye trauma is of high priority. The time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. is when UV radiation is at its peak. Limit exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. Fend off the sun's harsh rays with appropriate clothing, a wide-brim hat, and UV-protective sunglasses.
