June weather forecast
Banfora, Burkina Faso

In June, Banfora's weather continues its rainy phase, but with a minor dip in temperatures. The city remains under rainfall's sway, registering 48mm (1.89") of precipitation, only slightly less than May's peak. It is a period characterized by vibrant and diverse foliage, thanks to the steady rains and maximum relative humidity of 60%. Amidst the new wave of greenery, the banana and mango trees dotting the landscape bear fruit. Looking ahead to July, expectations of even heavier rainfall set the stage for high agricultural productivity in the area.

Temperature

As Banfora transitions from May to June, the average high-temperatures adjust to a still sweltering 35.6°C (96.1°F), nearly the same as the previous 37.5°C (99.5°F). June is noted for a mean low-temperature of 24°C (75.2°F).

Heat index

In June, the heat index is appraised at a life-threatening hot 47°C (116.6°F). Caution: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Sustained activity could lead to heatstroke.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.

Steer clear of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can be scorched in less than 20 minutes. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Sunglasses providing both UVA and UVB protection are non-negotiable on sunlit days.
