May weather forecast
Jejeti, Ghana

The last month of the spring, May, is another hot month in Jejeti, Ghana, with temperature in the range of an average high of 32.6°C (90.7°F) and an average low of 22.8°C (73°F).

Temperature

The advent of May denotes an average high-temperature of a still hot 32.6°C (90.7°F), subtly different from April's 34.3°C (93.7°F). During the nights in May, Jejeti experiences a consistent average temperature of 22.8°C (73°F).

Heat index

The heat index value for May is estimated at a life-threatening hot 47°C (116.6°F). Stay vigilant: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke may follow prolonged exertion.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

In May, the average relative humidity is 80%.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are January through May, October through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.
Note: In May, the maximum UV index of 7 suggests this advice:
Avoid excessive sunlight. Those with lighter skin may experience burning in less than 20 minutes. To the best of your ability, limit your exposure to the sun between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays.
