July weather forecast
Sindou, Burkina Faso

As July takes over, Sindou begins to cool off gradually from the hot summer months, indicating the return of tourist activities. This month assures lush surroundings with the continuation of a rainy climate, making it a good time for rain-lovers to visit. Despite the significant drop in temperature to a maximum of 31.7°C (89.1°F), the city's clear sky offers adequate daylight for any adventurous pursuits. An increase in wind speed adds a pleasant breeze to the overall weather, making it more amenable. Downpours occurring on approximately 21 days contribute to the highest rainfall days in a single month.

Temperature

The shift from June to July coincides with a small decrease in the average high-temperature, down to a tropical 31.7°C (89.1°F) from a very hot 35.6°C (96.1°F). Sindou observes an average nighttime temperature of 22.8°C (73°F) during July.

Heat index

During July, the heat index is computed to be a blistering 41°C (105.8°F). Adopt additional preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential outcomes. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.
Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

Continue precautions and advocate sun safety advice. Deterrence of sunburn is indispensable. The Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
