May weather forecast
Ebebiyin, Equatorial Guinea

In May, Ebebiyin sustains the tropical monsoon climate. Days become progressively warmer, and the frequency of rain reduces sightly, yet remains fairly high. Tourists in this month can partake in indoor activities because of the extensive cover clouding the sky. Wearing breathable clothing is advised, including bringing a raincoat. To highlight, May registers the year's highest humidity level at 90%.

Temperature

May's advent denotes a minor fluctuation in the average high-temperature to a still tropical 30.3°C (86.5°F) from April's 31.2°C (88.2°F). Ebebiyin reports an average low-temperature of 20.8°C (69.4°F) during the nights of May.

Heat index

The heat index in May is estimated at an extremely hot 42°C (107.6°F). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
When faced with excessive heat, the human body begins to perspire, utilizing the cooling benefits of sweat evaporation. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
