Temperature

The beginning of May brings a minor change in the average high-temperature, shifting from a tropical 32.9°C (91.2°F) in April to a warm 29.6°C (85.3°F). In May, Baoro's temperature tends to fall to an average low of 19.3°C (66.7°F) during the night.

Heat index

Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Juveniles are regularly less conscious of the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a tardy symptom of dehydration - hydration, especially during lengthy physical activities, should be maintained.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.

Humidity
