May weather forecast
Talada, Togo

The last month of the spring, May, is another very hot month in Talada, Togo, with an average temperature varying between 25.2°C (77.4°F) and 36.2°C (97.2°F).

Temperature

Talada experiences a transition to a still very hot 36.2°C (97.2°F) in average high-temperatures with the arrival of May, not greatly differing from April's 38.2°C (100.8°F). May nights experience a consistent temperature drop to a warm 25.2°C (77.4°F).

Heat index

For May, the heat index is estimated at a burning hot 48°C (118.4°F). Stay alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a likely outcome of ongoing activity.
Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in May is 58%.

Note: The maximum daily UV index, 7 in May, converts into the following recommendations:
Prevent overexposure. Protection from the sun's harmful effects is needed. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Counter UV radiation's ill effects with clothing designed for sun safety and UV-resistant eyewear.
