May weather forecast
Fera, Gabon

The last month of the autumn, May, is another hot month in Fera, Gabon, with an average temperature ranging between min 22.1°C (71.8°F) and max 31°C (87.8°F).

Temperature

Entering May, the average high-temperature is recorded at a still hot 31°C (87.8°F), exhibiting a minimal shift from April's 31.9°C (89.4°F). Fera experiences a consistent average temperature of 22.1°C (71.8°F) throughout the nights in May.

Heat index

In May, the heat index is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 43°C (109.4°F). Prudent: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Heatstroke becomes imminent with sustained exertion.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 87%.

Rainfall

In Fera, in May, it is raining for 29 days, with typically 198mm (7.8") of accumulated precipitation. Throughout the year, there are 297.6 rainfall days, and 1831mm (72.09") of precipitation is accumulated.

Sunshine

The average sunshine in May is 6.7h.

UV index

In May, the average daily maximum UV index is 6. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.
Note: The maximum daily UV index, 6 in May, converts into the following recommendations:
Take precautions against overexposure. Fair-skinned people may get burned in less than 20 minutes. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat provides unparalleled sun protection for sensitive areas like the eyes, ears, and neck.
