The last month of the spring, May, is also a blistering month in Carbanol, Guinea-Bissau, with an average temperature varying between 41.3°C (106.3°F) and 23.8°C (74.8°F).

Temperature

The transition into May notes an average high-temperature of a still blisteringly hot 41.3°C (106.3°F), revealing a mild distinction from the 42.1°C (107.8°F) in April. During May, Carbanol reports a marked contrast from daily peak temperatures, with an average nighttime reading of 23.8°C (74.8°F).

Heat index

In May, the average heat index is estimated at a life-threatening hot 54°C (129.2°F). Mind: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are anticipated. Heatstroke can develop with continued physical activity.
Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.

UV index

March through May, with an average maximum UV index of 8, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index reading of 8 to 10 represents a very high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.
Note: A maximum daily UV index of 8 during May morphs into the following directions:
Protection should always be a priority. Skin and eyes are vulnerable without it. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest, limit direct exposure to the Sun and note that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. A wide-brim hat offers excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck. Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection significantly reduce eye damage from sun exposure.
