May weather forecast
Gou Mbre, Central African Republic

May observes a significant shift in weather dynamics in Gou Mbre with the onset of the rainy season. The relative humidity soars from 43% in April to 59%, painting the landscape with a more moist and lush texture. The increase in cloud coverage results in a notable dip in daily sunshine hours. Rainfall events intensify, sometimes causing major disruptions. Despite the increased rains, temperatures remain consistently high, keeping the weather warm and damp.

Temperature

Gou Mbre experiences a moderate temperature shift at the start of May, with average high-temperatures adjusting a bit from a sweltering 38.7°C (101.7°F) in April to a still torrid 35.3°C (95.5°F). During May, Gou Mbre witnesses a consistent average low-temperature of 23.8°C (74.8°F).

Heat index

The heat index for May is computed to be a life-threatening hot 45°C (113°F). Take caution: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may be imminent with ongoing effort.
Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in May is 59%.
