Weather in May
Temperature
Sagbado signifies an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.3°C (88.3°F) in May, closely mirroring the 32.3°C (90.1°F) of April. Sagbado encounters a negligible difference from daytime peaks throughout the May nights, with a low-temperature average of 26.6°C (79.9°F).Heat index
The heat index in May is estimated at an extremely hot 40°C (104°F). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. 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 temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
