June weather forecast
Dedougou, Burkina Faso

June in Dedougou, Burkina Faso, initiates a period where changes in weather elements become subtler compared to earlier transitioning months. A downward adjustment in temperatures is observed, making room for increased rainfall, which reaches a significant 35mm (1.38"). As the wet season matures, the cloud density deepens, obscuring the blue skies of Dedougou. Amid the intermittent showers, the city bathes in more than 12 hours of daylight. This balance of rain and sun makes June a time of vibrant green landscapes.

Temperature

The onset of June brings with it an average high-temperature of a very hot 38.1°C (100.6°F), showing a negligible variation from the month before. Throughout June, Dedougou witnesses a nighttime temperature average of 26.8°C (80.2°F).

Heat index

The heat index value during June is appraised at a burning hot 47°C (116.6°F). Heed: Expect heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continued action may cause heatstroke.
Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

Note: The UV index of 8 during June leads to these advisories:
Always take precautions; unprotected eyes and skin can be damaged rapidly. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, and note that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer full sun protection. For minimizing sun-related eye damage, always choose sunglasses with UVA and UVB coverage.
