Abuloma, Nigeria

The last month of the spring, May, is another hot month in Abuloma, Nigeria, with an average temperature varying between 30.3°C (86.5°F) and 23.7°C (74.7°F).

Temperature

The onset of May marks an average high-temperature of a still tropical 30.3°C (86.5°F), hardly differing from April's 31.2°C (88.2°F). Nighttime temperature lowers to an average of 23.7°C (74.7°F) in May.

Heat index

May's average heat index is computed to be a scorching 40°C (104°F). Heightened safety actions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may lead to heatstroke.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. 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 'feels like', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

Resist overexposure. Safeguarding from solar damage is indispensable. Avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide full protection. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays.
