May weather forecast
Abyei, Sudan

In May, Abyei, Sudan experiences a marked change in weather. This is the period when rainfall begins to take center stage with rainfall amounts reaching 42mm (1.65"). Despite the showery conditions, the city continues to enjoy sizeable sunlight hours, providing ample time for sunbathing and other outdoor activities. The humidity levels take a jump, making the atmosphere feel a bit heavy. Yet, a steady breeze reduces the impact of the humidity, making the weather considerably comfortable.

Temperature

May brings a slight decrease in temperature, down from a scorching 40.2°C (104.4°F) in April to a very hot 36.8°C (98.2°F). During the month of May, the nighttime temperature falls to an average of 26.3°C (79.3°F).

Heat index

In May, the heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 45°C (113°F). Stay alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a likely outcome of ongoing activity.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. 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. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.

Embrace precautions and observe sun safety norms. Evasion of sunburn is a necessity. Limit direct sun exposure especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. During bright days, sunglasses that offer UVA and UVB defense are recommended.
