June weather forecast
Bembereke, Benin

June ushers in the monsoon season in earnest, with Bembereke, Benin experiencing the year's highest humidity at 73. The rainfall too increases, albeit not as significantly as in the previous month. Even though the maximum temperature doesn't fall drastically, the minimal difference appears to be a welcome respite. Likewise, the transition from June to July doesn't bring about drastic weather changes as one might expect. However, the continuous monsoon showers and overcast skies in June prepare the region for the coming months of heavy rains.

Heat index

The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. 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.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
