May weather forecast
Koumogo, Chad

May offers a substaintial increase in humidity, rising to 45% and a notable increase in the amount of precipitation, reaching a high of 47mm (1.85"). Unfortunately, people looking for long days under the sun may find Koumogo a bit disappointing in May, as it sees a dip in both sunshine hours and clear days. However, the cooler temperatures and subtle breezes transform the landscape into a radiant green, making May an attractive month to many.

Temperature

May's arrival brings an average high-temperature of a torrid 37.9°C (100.2°F), slightly deviating from April's 40.6°C (105.1°F). May's average low-temperature reading in Koumogo settles at a warm 27.8°C (82°F).

Heat index

The heat index in May is evaluated at a blazing hot 46°C (114.8°F). Be wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are highly anticipated. With continued activity, heatstroke is very likely.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.

Always remain cautious. Unprotected skin and eyes are prone to swift harm. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. Using UVA and UVB-protective sunglasses and sun-protective clothing is effective against UV radiation.
