Weather in May

May in Adok sees an intensification of the previous month's weather patterns. Thicker clouds start to dominate the sky, resulting in a surge in rainfall, with the city recording almost a significant 47mm (1.85"). The rise in relative humidity accompanies these showers, marking a shift from the earlier dry months. The dominance of rainfall does not however suppress the tropical strength of the sun. May, therefore, effectively serves as a transition point, circling the first climatic semi-circle for Adok.

Temperature

The onset of May entails a subtle temperature shift, as the average high-temperature eases from a blistering 41.1°C (106°F) in April to a very hot 37.1°C (98.8°F). During May, Adok experiences an average low-temperature of 27.1°C (80.8°F) at night.

Heat index

Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. 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 human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
