Accompanying this decrease is predominantly cloudy weather, which shields residents from the sun's intensity and maintains pleasant ambient conditions. A minor change is observed in the pressure levels and visibility remains blazingly clear despite increased precipitation. The wind speed takes on a different dynamic, bringing a resurgence of gusty conditions. Daylight hours, however, remain stable, reinforcing the notion that the rainy season has taken hold.

Temperature

The arrival of May brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.2°C (88.2°F), nearly identical to April's 32.4°C (90.3°F). Throughout the month of May, Gode witnesses an average temperature of 23.4°C (74.1°F).

Heat index

May's heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 36°C (96.8°F). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. 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 are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Ward off overexposure. Defence against solar harm is crucial. Stay out of direct sunlight and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest, but remember that shade devices may not offer full sun protection. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays.
