Weather in May

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

With the onset of May, a modest change to a tropical 34°C (93.2°F) from April's 36.2°C (97.2°F) is noted in high-temperature. An average nighttime temperature of 23°C (73.4°F) is witnessed throughout May.

Heat index

May's average heat index is calculated to be a blazing hot 49°C (120.2°F). Vigilance: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. The likelihood of heatstroke increases with continued activity.
The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
