Weather in May
Temperature
Upon the onset of May, Badougbe witnesses an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.3°C (88.3°F), showing a close resemblance to the prior month. An average nighttime temperature of 26.6°C (79.9°F) marks May.Heat index
The heat index for May is computed to be an extremely hot 40°C (104°F). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.

A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for average individuals.Note: The maximum UV index of 7 during May leads to these instructions:
Shun overexposure. Protection from sun ravages is indispensable. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. For excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck, consider a wide-brim hat.
