May weather forecast
Mitzic, Gabon

The weather in Mitzic during May maintains its April trend, with precipitation marginally increasing to 188mm (7.4"). Despite being at the heart of the wet season, May does not deviate significantly from the preceding months in terms of temperature and humidity. As June approaches, residents can anticipate fewer rainfalls and a decrease in humidity, signaling the onset of the drier season. May sits as the last month of typically heavy rainfall before a transition to drier months begins. The abundance of precipitation and consistently high temperature make May a clear example of Mitzic's tropical climate.

On the advent of May, Mitzic's average high-temperature exhibits a minor adjustment to a still warm 29.9°C (85.8°F) from April's 29.7°C (85.5°F). During May, Mitzic consistently records a temperature low averaging a pleasant 20.6°C (69.1°F).

Heat index

For May, the heat index is estimated at a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Adopt additional preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential outcomes. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.

In May, the average relative humidity is 83%.
