Weather in May
Temperature
Malikounda's weather in May, with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 33.1°C (91.6°F), subtly shifts from April's 33.7°C (92.7°F). May nights are marked by an average temperature drop to an agreeable 21.7°C (71.1°F).Heat index
May's mean heat index is estimated at a torrid 39°C (102.2°F). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, but remember that shade structures may not offer complete protection. For holistic sun protection encompassing the eyes, ears, face, and neck, a wide-brim hat is key.
