May weather forecast
Banama, Guinea

May sees a notable increase in Banama's rainfall, coinciding with a dip in average temperatures. Humidity peaks owing to the combination of rising precipitation and cloud coverage which dominates the sky, resulting in less sunshine hours. Though harsh for outdoor activities, this weather contributes significantly to Guinea's rich biodiversity. Despite these somewhat intense conditions, wind speed decreases compared to the previous month. May experiences temperatures that vary from 20.3°C (68.5°F) to a lower 31.1°C (88°F) accompanied by a significant rainfall of 131mm (5.16") over 26.9 days.

Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. 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. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
