May, typically being a transitional month in Bembereke, Benin, sets the pace for a wetter and more humid climate.

As we inch closer to peak monsoon, the rainfall continues to climb, achieving a new height at 64mm (2.52") for the month. Your gaze would then be directed towards the month of June, a period earmarked by even higher precipitation and humidity. The increased cloud cover also has a certain influence on the reduction of daylight hours.

Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly important for children. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
