Weather in May

The last month of the spring, May, is another hot month in Sevagan, Togo, with an average temperature fluctuating between 26.6°C (79.9°F) and 31.3°C (88.3°F).

Temperature

With the advent of May, Sevagan experiences an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.3°C (88.3°F), mirroring a close resemblance to the previous month. May nights witness a slight temperature decrease, averaging at a moderately hot 26.6°C (79.9°F).

Heat index

The heat index value for May is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 40°C (104°F). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. 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. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in May is 76%.

UV index

January through June, September through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index in Sevagan. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: In May, the maximum UV index of 7 suggests these recommendations:
Uphold preventive measures and conform to sun safety guidelines. Defending against skin and eye harm is crucial. Remember that UV radiation from the Sun is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to limit direct sun exposure during this time. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
