May weather forecast
Mitzic, Gabon

The weather in Mitzic during May maintains its April trend, with precipitation marginally increasing to 188mm (7.4"). Despite being at the heart of the wet season, May does not deviate significantly from the preceding months in terms of temperature and humidity. As June approaches, residents can anticipate fewer rainfalls and a decrease in humidity, signaling the onset of the drier season. May sits as the last month of typically heavy rainfall before a transition to drier months begins. The abundance of precipitation and consistently high temperature make May a clear example of Mitzic's tropical climate.

Temperature

May's onset records a minor alteration in the average high-temperature to a still moderately hot 29.9°C (85.8°F) from April's 29.7°C (85.5°F). In May, Mitzic experiences a temperature dip to an average of 20.6°C (69.1°F) at night.

Heat index

For May, the heat index is evaluated at a very hot 38°C (100.4°F). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.
In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in May is 83%.
