With the advent of May, Ajegunle's high-temperatures adjust to a tropical 33.3°C (91.9°F), closely aligning with the preceding month. Ajegunle's temperature lowers to a mean of 23.2°C (73.8°F) during the nights in May.

Heat index

May's average heat index is evaluated at a blazing hot 47°C (116.6°F). On guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a potential hazard with continuous physical effort.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. 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 prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

Note: An average maximum UV index of 7 in May leads to these recommendations:
Resist overexposure. Safeguarding from solar damage is indispensable. Stay in the shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest. Remember, however, that not all shade structures provide full sun protection. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
