May

Weather in May

May enters with some relief from April's extended rainy sessions. This month is known for its reduced precipitation, recording rainfalls as little as 67mm (2.64"), making it the most arid phase in this half of the year in Feshi. This deficit does not pose a hindrance to the city's charm as the weather remains moderately warm. Days are splendid with a steady amount of daylight and fair visibility enhancing the city's appeal. However, the UV index reaching 7, caution becomes necessary when planning outdoor adventures.

Temperature

As April transitions into May, Feshi records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.8°C (89.2°F), showing a gentle shift from the preceding month. Feshi usually reports an average low-temperature of 21.9°C (71.4°F) during the month of May.

Heat index

In May, the heat index is estimated at a blistering 40°C (104°F). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.
One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
