May weather forecast
Brin, Senegal

The last month of the spring, May, is another very hot month in Brin, Senegal, with an average temperature varying between 23.5°C (74.3°F) and 37.2°C (99°F).

Temperature

The ushering in of May brings an average high-temperature of a still torrid 37.2°C (99°F), closely mirroring the 38.7°C (101.7°F) of April. Brin notes a substantial temperature decline from the daytime peaks throughout May, with an average nighttime temperature of 23.5°C (74.3°F).

Heat index

During May, the heat index is calculated to be a burning hot 47°C (116.6°F). Prudent: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Heatstroke becomes imminent with sustained exertion.
Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in May is 51%.

Rainfall

In May, the rain falls for 2.9 days. Throughout May, 6mm (0.24") of precipitation is accumulated. Throughout the year, in Brin, there are 107.1 rainfall days, and 617mm (24.29") of precipitation is accumulated.

Sunshine

March through May, with an average of 9.9h of sunshine, are months with the most sunshine.

UV index

January through July, September through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: The UV index of 7 in May translates into these instructions:
Employ safeguards and advocate sun safety protocols. Shielding against skin and eye damage is crucial. 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. Sun protection is enhanced with clothing that boasts a tight weave yet offers a loose fit.
