May weather forecast
Macenta, Guinea

May’s weather condition in Macenta is marked by increased dampness, high relative humidity, and saturated cloud cover. The month displays distinct maturation of the rainy season coupled with low solar rays. In comparison to its preceding month, the notable amplification in rainfall from 78mm (3.07") to 131mm (5.16") underscores the peak of the rainfall season. Though the weather is dominated by rainfalls, cool breezes manifest as a soothing element amid the dampness. Consequently, May’s weather is marked by a substantial decline in outdoor visibility, making it requisite to be cautious while travelling.

Heat index

In May, the average heat index is estimated at a blistering 43°C (109.4°F). Stay watchful: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are likely. Ongoing effort may cause heatstroke.
When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

Implement precautions and maintain sun safety methods. Avoidance of sunburn is demanded. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Always opt for UVA and UVB-resistant sunglasses on radiant days.
