May weather forecast
Aconibe, Equatorial Guinea

Weather in May marks a downturn in temperature, with a high limit recorded at 30.3°C (86.5°F). The precipitations peaks during this period, recording an average rainfall of 164mm (6.46"). It is crucial to note that the drop in temperature is matched by an increment in humidity, therefore maintaining the city’s warm feel. Regardless of the increment in rain, the hours of sunshine and daylight remain stable. May’s weather trend resonates with the established pattern, although it underscores the impending monsoon season.

Temperature

May denotes a minimal variation in the average high-temperature to a still hot 30.3°C (86.5°F) from April's 30.8°C (87.4°F). May sees the temperature falling to a mean low of 21.4°C (70.5°F).

Heat index

The heat index for May is evaluated at a scorching 41°C (105.8°F). Exercise special caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Prolonged activity may induce heatstroke.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
Humans rely on perspiration as a cooling mechanism, wherein the evaporating sweat counteracts excessive warmth. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.

Dodge overexposure. Fair-skinned people can get singed in less than 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Using UVA and UVB-protective sunglasses and sun-protective clothing is effective against UV radiation.
