Notably, this month witnesses the first substantial uptick in the average rainfall to a total of 58mm (2.28") spanning over 14.3 days. The temperature, daylight, and sunshine hours continue to remain relatively stable despite these changes. Nevertheless, humidity rises and the wind speed drops further, adding to the overall damp feel of the month.

Temperature

June's onset sees an average high-temperature of a fiery hot 39.5°C (103.1°F), exhibiting a slight fluctuation from the previous month. Bambey reports a steady low-temperature average of 23.5°C (74.3°F) throughout June, revealing a large deviation from the daytime high.

Heat index

The heat index value for June is computed to be a burning hot 53°C (127.4°F). Keep alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke is a potential danger with continued physical activity.
In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Protection is paramount; otherwise, swift harm can come to the skin and eyes. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., UV radiation is strongest. Make an effort to avoid direct sunlight during this time, remembering that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. For holistic sun protection encompassing the eyes, ears, face, and neck, a wide-brim hat is key.
