Koupela, Burkina Faso

June introduces the wet phase in Koupela, with an increased rainfall of 26mm (1.02"). Maximum temperatures start to regress, reaching a mild 37.8°C (100°F) but the increase in relative humidity up to 45% counterbalances this relief. The decline in the UV index complements the changes in these weather parameters. Despite the harmony between increased rainfall and diminished sunshine, the visibility remains commendable at 10km (6.2mi). A recurring pattern of consistent wind speed is seen, cushioning the effects of the heat and humidity.

Temperature

June's arrival brings an average high-temperature of a fiery hot 37.8°C (100°F), demonstrating subtle variation from the preceding month. Koupela reports a consistent average low-temperature of 27.4°C (81.3°F) throughout June nights.

Heat index

In June, the heat index is computed to be a burning hot 45°C (113°F). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Prolonged effort can result in heatstroke.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

Immediate damage can occur to skin and eyes if left unprotected. Always take necessary precautions. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. Stay sun-safe with clothing that is both closely woven and worn loosely.
