May weather forecast
Ayod, South Sudan

In Ayod, South Sudan, May serves as a transition month between the dry heat and the wettest season of the year. Not only does rainfall spike to a significant 38mm (1.5") across 14 days, but there is also an observable increase in relative humidity. The wind gust falls further to a speed of 12km/h (7.5mph) and pressure steps up to 1008.2mb. The rising humidity and downpours result in fairly cooler temperatures in the night. May's weather is ideal for those who prefer tropical climates.

Temperature

The shift from April to May coincides with a small decrease in the average high-temperature, down to a fiery hot 36.7°C (98.1°F) from a blistering 41.4°C (106.5°F). During the month of May, Ayod anticipates a mean low-temperature of 27.7°C (81.9°F).

Heat index

The heat index value for May is estimated at a scorching 44°C (111.2°F). Remain alert: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Extended effort can lead to heatstroke.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in May is 48%.

Protection is paramount; otherwise, swift harm can come to the skin and eyes. Be aware that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and try to reduce direct sun exposure during this period as much as possible. Using UVA and UVB-protective sunglasses and sun-protective clothing is effective against UV radiation.
