May weather forecast
Togo

May witnesses the continuation of the rainy season across Togo, characterized by heavy showers and increased humidity. In the southern region, including Lomé, temperatures remain stable, ranging between 24°C (75.2°F) and 30°C (86°F). However, rainfall significantly increases compared to the preceding month, with an average precipitation of about 175mm (6.89"). This makes May one of the wettest months in the southern part of Togo. The high humidity levels during this period can result in conditions feeling hotter than the actual temperature.

In contrast, the northern region, particularly cities like Dapaong, sees the onset of the rainy season in May. The extreme heat of the previous months subsides slightly, with average temperatures dropping to between 28°C (82.4°F) and 38°C (100.4°F). Although the rains start to set in, the average rainfall is relatively low at approximately 50mm (1.97"), indicating the beginning of the rainy season rather than its peak.

Compared to April, May presents an escalation of the rainy season in both the southern and northern parts of Togo. The south experiences increased rainfall and continued high temperatures, while the north transitions from the hot, dry season to the comparatively cooler rainy season. Thus, May denotes a further shift into the wet season across the country, characterized by heavy rainfall and high humidity.
