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 arrival of May brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.7°C (89.1°F), subtly diverging from April's 32.7°C (90.9°F). During the month of May, the temperature generally drops to a low average of 22.4°C (72.3°F).

Heat index

May's mean heat index is computed to be a blistering 42°C (107.6°F). Adopt extra safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.
Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.

Humidity

In Kelle, the average relative humidity in May is 78%.

Rainfall

In Kelle, in May, it is raining for 24.5 days, with typically 112mm (4.41") of accumulated precipitation. In Kelle, during the entire year, the rain falls for 270.9 days and collects up to 1169mm (46.02") of precipitation.

UV index

January through July, November and December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: The UV index of 7 during May leads to these advisories:
Ward off overexposure. Defence against solar harm is crucial. Limit direct sun exposure especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. On sunny days, it's ideal to wear sunglasses that filter out UVA and UVB rays.
