June weather forecast
Rotifunk, Sierra Leone

The weather in June in Rotifunk remains quite wet, though showing signs of mild improvement from May. It continues to be a month of high humidity and reduced sunshine hours, typical of the wet season. Outdoor plans might be affected as there is considerable cloud coverage resulting in decreased visibility. However, the reduction in maximum temperatures makes the persistent showers more tolerable. Wind speeds also remain on the lower side, reinforcing the usual damp and overcast atmosphere.

Heat index

The heat index value during June is calculated to be an extremely hot 42°C (107.6°F). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. 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.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. 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. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
