June weather forecast
Mekambo, Gabon

June ushers in a gradual change in Mekambo's climatic pattern. While the rainfall, at 116mm (4.57"), begins a slow but steady descent towards drier months, it continues to surpass the January figures significantly. A slight dip in temperature occurs, which might make the surroundings marginally more comfortable for the locals during the peak afternoon hours. Meanwhile, the wind picks up, aiding in dispelling a fraction of the persistent humidity. Although the cloud cover remains considerable, June sets the stage for a distinctly drier second half of the year in Mekambo, Gabon.

Temperature

The ushering in of June in Mekambo, Gabon, brings an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 28.9°C (84°F), closely mirroring the 30.3°C (86.5°F) of May. During June, Mekambo witnesses a consistent average low-temperature of 20.3°C (68.5°F).

Heat index

In June, the heat index is computed to be a fiery hot 36°C (96.8°F). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Youngsters often neglect the necessity for rest and hydration. Thirst is a sign of advancing dehydration - thus the importance of maintaining hydration, specifically during long-lasting physical activities.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

Guard against overexposure. Protection from sun-induced harm is essential. The Sun's UV radiation is at its strongest between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Minimize direct exposure to the sun during this period. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
