May weather forecast
Zemio, Central African Republic

May's weather in Zemio signals the rainy season's peak phase. Compared to April, there is a surge in both average rainfall to 82mm (3.23") and rainy days to 19.9. Along with the hike in rainfall, the shifts in temperature become less prominent, yet the heat continues to be one of the key factors defining the weather of Zemio. The UV index of 6 indicates lowered but still potent ultraviolet radiation, necessitating UV protection measures. Winds remain calm with wind gust speed settling at 8.7km/h (5.4mph).

Temperature

As Zemio, Central African Republic, welcomes May, the average high-temperature stabilizes at a still hot 31.9°C (89.4°F), showing little deviation from April's 33.5°C (92.3°F). The average low-temperature, in May, in Zemio, Central African Republic, is an agreeable 20.2°C (68.4°F).

Heat index

For May, the heat index is computed to be a blisteringly hot 43°C (109.4°F). Remain cautious: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are foreseeable. Ongoing activity may precipitate heatstroke.
From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

Continue precautions and advocate sun safety advice. Deterrence of sunburn is indispensable. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Using UVA and UVB-protective sunglasses and sun-protective clothing is effective against UV radiation.
