The last month of the spring, May, is another very hot month in Baya, Togo, with temperature in the range of an average high of 35.3°C (95.5°F) and an average low of 24.6°C (76.3°F).

Temperature

The transition from April to May brings an average high-temperature of a still sweltering 35.3°C (95.5°F), barely different from April's 37.5°C (99.5°F). The temperature lowers to an average of 24.6°C (76.3°F) during May nights.

Heat index

May's mean heat index is appraised at a life-threatening hot 46°C (114.8°F). Precaution: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are possible. Heatstroke is a serious risk with continued exertion.
Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.

Sidestep overexposure. Individuals with fair complexions risk burning in fewer than 20 minutes. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest, limit direct exposure to the Sun and note that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. On sunny days, it's ideal to wear sunglasses that filter out UVA and UVB rays.
