May weather forecast
Fizanlouma, Ivory Coast

The last month of the spring, May, is another tropical month in Fizanlouma, Ivory Coast, with temperature in the range of an average high of 34°C (93.2°F) and an average low of 23°C (73.4°F).

Temperature

The transition from April to May brings an average high-temperature of a hot 34°C (93.2°F), barely different from April's 36.2°C (97.2°F). In May, the average low-temperature is a warm 23°C (73.4°F).

Heat index

Throughout May, the heat index is calculated to be a blazing hot 49°C (120.2°F). Guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are foreseeable. Prolonged effort may bring about heatstroke.
The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 75%.

Rainfall

In Fizanlouma, in May, during 21.7 rainfall days, 88mm (3.46") of precipitation is typically accumulated. Throughout the year, in Fizanlouma, there are 201.6 rainfall days, and 788mm (31.02") of precipitation is accumulated.

UV index

The months with the lowest UV index are May through September, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.
Note: In May, a regular UV index of 6 translates into these guidelines:
Eschew overexposure. Those with light skin may suffer burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation. Limit direct exposure to the Sun during these hours. Clothes that are both tight-knit and comfortably loose are prime choices for sun protection.
