May weather forecast
Bayota, Ivory Coast

The last month of the spring, May, is also a hot month in Bayota, Ivory Coast, with an average temperature varying between 22.2°C (72°F) and 33.1°C (91.6°F).

Temperature

The arrival of May marks a slight shift to an average high-temperature of a still tropical 33.1°C (91.6°F) from April's 34.8°C (94.6°F). May nights are marked by an average low-temperature of 22.2°C (72°F).

Heat index

For most parts of May, the heat index is computed to be a life-threatening hot 50°C (122°F). Observe: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is on the horizon with prolonged exertion.
When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 82%.

Rainfall

In May, the rain falls for 25.5 days. Throughout May, 100mm (3.94") of precipitation is accumulated. In Bayota, during the entire year, the rain falls for 261.6 days and collects up to 919mm (36.18") of precipitation.

In Bayota, the average sunshine in May is 7.4h.

UV index

In Bayota, the average daily maximum UV index in May is 6. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.
Note: A maximum high daily UV index of 6 during May translates into the following directions:
Evade overexposure. Individuals with fair skin risk burning in under 20 minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this time. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
