May weather forecast
Adok, South Sudan

May in Adok sees an intensification of the previous month's weather patterns. Thicker clouds start to dominate the sky, resulting in a surge in rainfall, with the city recording almost a significant 47mm (1.85"). The rise in relative humidity accompanies these showers, marking a shift from the earlier dry months. The dominance of rainfall does not however suppress the tropical strength of the sun. May, therefore, effectively serves as a transition point, circling the first climatic semi-circle for Adok.

Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.
