Banian, Guinea

May, the last month of the spring in Banian, is also a sweltering month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 22.5°C (72.5°F) and 35.3°C (95.5°F).

Temperature

A subtle change in temperatures is noted as April gives way to May, with average highs reducing from a very hot 38.6°C (101.5°F) to a still torrid 35.3°C (95.5°F). Banian receives a consistent average low-temperature of 22.5°C (72.5°F) in May, a substantial dip from the day's heat.

Heat index

During May, the heat index is estimated at a blazing hot 51°C (123.8°F). Remain cautious: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are foreseeable. Ongoing activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. 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 highly critical for babies and toddlers. Youngsters often neglect the necessity for rest and hydration. Thirst is a sign of advancing dehydration - thus the importance of maintaining hydration, specifically during long-lasting physical activities.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 69%.

Note: The daily high UV index of 7 in May translates into this advice:
Employ safeguards and advocate sun safety protocols. Shielding against skin and eye damage is crucial. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun's UV radiation is at its peak. Limit your exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. Stay sun-safe with clothing that is both closely woven and worn loosely.
