July weather forecast
Koupela, Burkina Faso

By July, Koupela's weather prominently signals the rainy season, with an increase in precipitation to a substantial 62mm (2.44"). The decrease in temperatures is further reinforced, with an average low of 25°C (77°F), allowing residents to enjoy cooler nights. Rains bring along an increase in cloud cover percentage, leading to shorter sunshine hours and a considerable drop in the UV index to 7. Even though rainfall days are on an upswing, visibility stands firm at 10km (6.2mi). Wind speed reduces slightly, adding a calm and refreshing undertone to the month.

Temperature

July marks a gentle change in average high-temperature in Koupela, declining from June's very hot 37.8°C (100°F) to a hot 34.1°C (93.4°F). Throughout July, Koupela experiences a low-temperature average of 25°C (77°F).

Heat index

The heat index in July is computed to be an extremely hot 42°C (107.6°F). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.
It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. 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. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

Take precautions and utilize sun safety practices. Protection against skin and eye damage is required. Limit your exposure to the sun's UV radiation, which is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and note that parasols or canopies may not provide full sun protection. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
