Weather in May

May, the last month of the spring in Kouankan, is also a hot month, with an average temperature varying between 20.3°C (68.5°F) and 31.1°C (88°F).

Temperature

May brings a marginal elevation to a still hot 31.1°C (88°F) from April's 33.7°C (92.7°F) in Kouankan's average high-temperatures. Kouankan, in the month of May, anticipates a consistent average low-temperature of 20.3°C (68.5°F).

Heat index

May's mean heat index is computed to be a blisteringly hot 43°C (109.4°F). On guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a potential hazard with continuous physical effort.
Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. 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.
When faced with excessive heat, the human body begins to perspire, utilizing the cooling benefits of sweat evaporation. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.

Take precautions against overexposure. Fair-skinned people may get burned in less than 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
