May weather forecast
Fama, Mali

May, the last month of the spring in Fama, is another torrid month, with an average temperature ranging between min 26.3°C (79.3°F) and max 38.5°C (101.3°F).

Temperature

The commencement of May records an average high-temperature of a still very hot 38.5°C (101.3°F), barely varying from April's 39.6°C (103.3°F). A sharp contrast between day and night is prevalent in May with an average nighttime temperature of 26.3°C (79.3°F).

Heat index

May's heat index is calculated to be a burning hot 47°C (116.6°F). Take caution: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may be imminent with ongoing effort.
Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light 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 'feels like' or 'real feel', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

Without adequate protection, skin and eyes might suffer damage. Ensure precautions are in place. 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. Fend off the sun's harsh rays with appropriate clothing, a wide-brim hat, and UV-protective sunglasses.
