Weather in May
Temperature
Akoyate, Ivory Coast, experiences an average high-temperature of a warm 29.8°C (85.6°F) in May, subtly different from April's 30.6°C (87.1°F). An average nighttime temperature of 26.2°C (79.2°F) marks May.Heat index
For May, the heat index is evaluated at a sweltering 37°C (98.6°F). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

Be aware that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and try to reduce direct sun exposure during this period as much as possible. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
