May weather forecast
Equatorial Guinea

May in Equatorial Guinea is characterized by the rainy season's intensification. Temperatures remain stable in the range of 24°C (75.2°F) to 29°C (84.2°F), but it is the significant rise in rainfall that stands out this month.

Precipitation levels in May increase considerably, averaging between 200mm (7.87") to 300mm (11.81"), marking it as one of the wettest months of the year. High humidity levels accompany this increased rainfall, often exceeding 90%, which can make the atmosphere feel muggy and heavy.

Malabo, situated on Bioko Island, generally sees higher levels of rainfall compared to the national average due to its coastal location. Bata, on the mainland, experiences somewhat similar weather patterns, although temperatures can be slightly higher due to its inland location.

Compared to April, May's weather signifies a progression deeper into the rainy season, with rainfall becoming more frequent and intense. As we transition from May into June, this trend continues, with June often seeing the highest rainfall totals of the year.

While May does not typically record the most extreme temperatures, it is one of the rainiest months in Equatorial Guinea. The high rainfall and humidity during May make it a less ideal time for travel and outdoor activities, especially for those not accustomed to such weather conditions.
