May weather forecast
Guinea

May marks the solid onset of the rainy season in Guinea, with the amount of rainfall increasing substantially compared to the previous months. The precipitation level in May typically ranges from 150mm (5.91") to over 250mm (9.84"). This significant rainfall contributes to the vibrancy of the natural landscapes, with the country's greenery becoming richer and more lush.

Despite the increased rainfall, temperatures in May continue to remain warm, oscillating between 24°C (75.2°F) and 31°C (87.8°F). The coastal regions, including Conakry, experience slightly cooler temperatures due to the influence of the Atlantic Ocean, with daily highs generally peaking around 29°C (84.2°F).

Compared to April, May witnesses a substantial increase in rainfall, solidifying the arrival of the wet season. The trend continues into June, which typically sees even higher levels of precipitation.

Although the increased rainfall in May results in a wetter climate, it contributes to the thriving of Guinea's diverse flora and fauna. This period is ideal for birdwatching as migratory birds arrive in the country, and the lush landscapes make for captivating photography. However, visitors should be prepared for heavy rainfall and potential travel disruptions due to weather conditions. The increasing water levels also make river travel more accessible, providing a unique perspective on the country's rural regions.

• Labe - May »
  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. In Labe during the entire year, the rain falls for 178.1 days and collects up to 1406mm (55.35") of precipitation.
• Kissidougou - May »
  On the first day of May in Kissidougou sunrise is at 06:24 and sunset at 18:51. In May, in Kissidougou, Guinea, the rain falls for 26.9 days.
• Gueckedou - May »
  On the last day of the month, in Gueckedou, Guinea, sunrise is at 06:20 and sunset at 18:55 GMT. 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.
• Telimele - May »
  High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. On the first day of May in Telimele sunrise is at 06:33 and sunset at 19:04.
• Siguiri - May »
  Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. In Siguiri, Guinea, during May, the rain falls for 8 days and regularly aggregates up to 85mm (3.35") of precipitation.
• Macenta - May »
  May’s weather condition in Macenta is marked by increased dampness, high relative humidity, and saturated cloud cover. The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading.
• Kouroussa - May »
  The average heat index, which takes the relative humidity and factors it into the air temperature reading, in May is evaluated at 50°C (122°F). Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth.
