June weather forecast
Kaya, Burkina Faso

June elevates the city's rainfall levels to an impressive 27mm (1.06"). July continues this trend but with a remarkable spike. At this time, Kaya is fully embraced by the wet season, with each day nurturing the city's flora. Significantly cooler wind speeds manifest throughout the month, well-complementing the rise in cloud density. These elements conspire to create the city's most refreshing and vivacious weather pattern.

Temperature

The average high-temperature is a very hot 38.2°C (100.8°F) in June, hardly different from the 40.3°C (104.5°F) recorded in May. June nights are marked by an average temperature drop to a moderately hot 27.8°C (82°F).

Heat index

Throughout June, the heat index is estimated at a life-threatening hot 45°C (113°F). Stay wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Heatstroke can ensue from extended effort.
Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in June is 42%.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are March through June and September, with an average maximum UV index of 8. A UV Index value of 8 to 10 symbolizes a very high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the average person.
Note: The maximum daily UV index of 8 in June interprets into the following recommendations:
Immediate care is essential; skin and eyes can be harmed in no time without it. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. For holistic sun protection encompassing the eyes, ears, face, and neck, a wide-brim hat is key.
