May weather forecast
Kelle, Congo

May proceeds the climate changes started in April. Amid a decline in temperature, this month presents a noticeable increase in rainfall recorded at 112mm (4.41") as Kelle's wettest month. With the most prolonged cloud cover percentages thus far, more daylight shadows the ground. Strikingly, the UV index and sunshine hours decrease as well. Weather during May comes to confirm the arrival of the rainy season.

Temperature

The shift into May in Kelle uncovers an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.7°C (89.1°F), subtly different from the previous month. Throughout the nights in May, Kelle experiences an average low-temperature of 22.4°C (72.3°F).

Heat index

May's heat index is appraised at a scorching 42°C (107.6°F). Ensure heightened precautions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Sustained activity could provoke heatstroke.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Kids frequently ignore the importance of taking a break and rehydrating. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during long-lasting physical activities.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

Endorse precautions and be consistent with sun safety guidelines. Preventing sunburn is paramount. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is particularly strong, noting that parasols or canopies may not offer total sun protection. Loose clothes with a tight weave are optimal for safeguarding yourself against the Sun's rays.
