May weather forecast
Moukondo, Congo

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

Temperature

May's onset records an average high-temperature of a still hot 30.8°C (87.4°F), a near match to April's 31.5°C (88.7°F). Moukondo, in the month of May, anticipates a consistent average low-temperature of 22.3°C (72.1°F).

Heat index

The heat index in May is computed to be an extremely hot 42°C (107.6°F). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in May is 86%.

Note: An average UV index of 6 in May transforms into this advice:
Evade overexposure. Individuals with fair skin risk burning in under 20 minutes. The hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. have the most intense UV radiation. As much as possible, limit direct sun exposure during this period. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
