June weather forecast
Boma, Democratic Republic of Congo

June, the middle of the year, brings a distinctive weather pattern in Boma. Notably, it holds the least amount of rainfall, a modest 6mm (0.24"), the cloud cover decreases significantly too. The dry period in June lends itself to a surge in sunshine hours per day with less cloudy skies. Nights become cooler compared to May, but daytime temperatures remain pretty high. The drop in humidity makes the conditions more comfortable, even as the wind speeds slightly rise.

Temperature

Shifting into June, Boma records an average high-temperature of a still hot 30.9°C (87.6°F), presenting minor fluctuations compared to the previous month. June in Boma generally records an average low-temperature of 20°C (68°F).

Heat index

June's average heat index is estimated at an extremely hot 40°C (104°F). More preventive actions are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is significant. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
