May weather forecast
Kpone, Ghana

May, the last month of the spring in Kpone, is another tropical month, with an average temperature varying between 30.3°C (86.5°F) and 26.8°C (80.2°F).

Temperature

Kpone observes a minor difference in average high-temperatures between April's 30.9°C (87.6°F) and May's 30.3°C (86.5°F). Throughout May, a modest shift from daytime highs is anticipated, with an average low-temperature of 26.8°C (80.2°F).

Heat index

During May, the heat index is appraised at a fiery hot 38°C (100.4°F). Greater safety measures are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Continuous activity might trigger heatstroke.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 77%.

Rainfall

In May, the rain falls for 17.8 days. Throughout May, 68mm (2.68") of precipitation is accumulated. In Kpone, during the entire year, the rain falls for 212 days and collects up to 657mm (25.87") of precipitation.

Sunshine

In Kpone, the average sunshine in May is 10.8h.

UV index

January through June, September 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 risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the average person.
Note: In May, a regular UV index of 7 translates into these guidelines:
Avert overexposure. Light-skinned people might experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Limit your direct sun exposure, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest. Shade structures might not provide complete sun protection. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
