Temperature

As April transitions into May, Nsugbe records an average high-temperature of a still hot 32.5°C (90.5°F), showing a gentle shift from the preceding month. During the month of May, Nsugbe experiences a steady low-temperature average of 24.2°C (75.6°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in May is estimated at a burning hot 46°C (114.8°F). On guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a potential hazard with continuous physical effort.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. 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 primarily vital for children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
