May weather forecast
Adukrom, Ghana

May, the last month of the spring in Adukrom, is another tropical month, with an average temperature varying between 32.8°C (91°F) and 23.7°C (74.7°F).

Temperature

At the onset of May, Adukrom records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 32.8°C (91°F), showing little deviation from the preceding month. Throughout the month of May, Adukrom observes an average nighttime temperature of 23.7°C (74.7°F).

Heat index

May's mean heat index is evaluated at a blazing hot 46°C (114.8°F). Remain cautious: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are foreseeable. Ongoing activity may precipitate heatstroke.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.

UV index

January through May, October through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for average individuals.
Note: A maximum daily UV index of 7 during May morphs into the following directions:
Guard against overexposure. Protection from sun-induced harm is essential. 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. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
