May weather forecast
Kore, Togo

May signifies the middle of the rainy season in Kore, with increasing rainy days and a significant dip in the number of sunshine hours. With a peak in monthly rainfall standing at 67mm (2.64"), May becomes one of the wettest months. Transitioning from May to June, there is a slight drop in temperature levels, although the wet conditions persist. The prolonged rains replenish the lush landscapes, creating a picturesque view. Despite the change in weather conditions, the wind maintains a consistent speed, providing a slight relief from the increasing humidity.

Temperature

Kore's weather in May indicates an average high-temperature of a still torrid 36.2°C (97.2°F), nearly consistent with the 38.2°C (100.8°F) of April. An average temperature of 25.2°C (77.4°F) marks the nights in May.

Heat index

In May, the average heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 48°C (118.4°F). Be careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may result from extended activity.
Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. 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. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 58%.

Rainfall

In Kore, in May, during 16.2 rainfall days, 67mm (2.64") of precipitation is typically accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 155.6 rainfall days, and 640mm (25.2") of precipitation is accumulated.

UV index

The average daily maximum UV index in May is 7. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.
Note: In May, the maximum UV index of 7 suggests these recommendations:
Deflect overexposure. Sun protection is a necessity. 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. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
