Weather in May
Temperature
May's arrival brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 31°C (87.8°F), slightly deviating from April's 31.6°C (88.9°F). Agunfoye's nighttime temperature in May shows a minor descent, with a steady average of 26.8°C (80.2°F).Heat index
The heat index for May is estimated at a scorching 40°C (104°F). Undertake enhanced precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible risks. Continuous activity could trigger heatstroke.Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Kids frequently ignore the importance of taking a break and rehydrating. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during long-lasting physical activities.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Shun overexposure. Protection from sun ravages 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. To best shield against UV radiation, choose sun-safe garments and dependable sunglasses.
