Weather in May

May forms the threshold to the year's rainiest season in Anima, Togo. With a considerable hike in rainfall to 67mm (2.64"), the showers form a constant part of the weather scene. The increase in precipitation ushers in a rise in humidity, adding a touch of moisture in the air. Despite this, the temperatures don't take a steep drop; a subtle cooling is at the most noticeable. This moderate cooling coupled with increased rainfall sets the scene for a romantic tropical monsoon mood throughout the city.

Temperature

The average high-temperature is a still torrid 36.2°C (97.2°F) in May, hardly different from the 38.2°C (100.8°F) recorded in April. Anima experiences an average temperature drop to a warm 25.2°C (77.4°F) during May nights.

Heat index

May's average heat index is computed to be a burning hot 48°C (118.4°F). Stay on guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Ongoing effort can cause heatstroke.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in May is 58%.
