Weather in May

Temperature

The arrival of May sees a recorded average high-temperature of a still hot 31.5°C (88.7°F), showing little divergence from the previous month's conditions. Touba registers a consistent average low-temperature of 20.9°C (69.6°F) during May.

Heat index

The average heat index in May is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 44°C (111.2°F). Be cautious: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a possible consequence of continuous physical effort.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Kids often lack the knowledge about the necessity to take breaks and consume liquids. Thirst, as a late symptom of dehydration, necessitates the maintenance of hydration, particularly during enduring physical activities.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Note: The UV index of 6 during May leads to these advisories:
Incorporate safeguards and honour sun safety principles. Protection from skin and eye damage is obligatory. 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. A wide-brim hat offers excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck. Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection significantly reduce eye damage from sun exposure.
