May weather forecast
Garango, Burkina Faso

May is characterized by a sustaining high-temperature pattern. A significant increase in rainfall, up to 26mm (1.02"), leads to a considerable rise in humidity levels. This change results in a more oppressive atmosphere compared to previous months. Despite the increased rainfall, sunshine hours remain high, shedding a bright light over Garango throughout the month. The blustering wind begins to slow down, marking May as a significantly calmer month.

Temperature

Garango's shift into May sets the average high-temperature at a sweltering 39.8°C (103.6°F), a figure that deviates only slightly from April's 40.9°C (105.6°F). During the nights in May, the temperature in Garango averages to a moderately hot 28.3°C (82.9°F).

Heat index

May's mean heat index is calculated to be a burning hot 48°C (118.4°F). Forewarned: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Ongoing physical activity increases the likelihood of heatstroke.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. 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 natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

Without proper safety measures, skin and eyes can be quickly harmed. Be sure to protect yourself. The Sun's UV radiation is at its strongest between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Minimize direct exposure to the sun during this period. Safeguard your eyes, ears, and face from sun rays with the aid of a wide-brim hat.
