Temperature

As April turns into May, the average high-temperatures rest at a very hot 39.4°C (102.9°F), showing a minor variation from the prior month. Fakola's daily high temperature significantly diverges from the consistently recorded temperature low averaging a moderately hot 26.8°C (80.2°F) in May.

Heat index

In May, the average heat index is estimated at a blazing hot 48°C (118.4°F). Keep on guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is a possible danger with ongoing physical activity.
Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual'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 essentially critical for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in May is 43%.

UV index

February through May, with an average maximum UV index of 8, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index value of 8 to 10 symbolizes a very high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for average individuals.
Note: In May, a daily UV index of 8 turns into the following recommendations:
Take extra precautions. Fair-skinned individuals may get burned in less than 10 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. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
