May weather forecast
Mabafi, Congo

May, the last month of the autumn in Mabafi, is another tropical month, with an average temperature ranging between min 22.3°C (72.1°F) and max 30.8°C (87.4°F).

Temperature

Mabafi experiences a transition to a still hot 30.8°C (87.4°F) in average high-temperatures with the arrival of May, not greatly differing from April's 31.5°C (88.7°F). Mabafi experiences a mean low-temperature of 22.3°C (72.1°F) during May.

Heat index

The heat index value during May is estimated at a scorching 42°C (107.6°F). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. 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 quite important for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. 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. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.

Note: In May, the maximum UV index of 6 suggests these recommendations:
Inhibit overexposure. Warding off sun damage is of utmost importance. Remember that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
