June weather forecast
Koupela, Burkina Faso

June introduces the wet phase in Koupela, with an increased rainfall of 26mm (1.02"). Maximum temperatures start to regress, reaching a mild 37.8°C (100°F) but the increase in relative humidity up to 45% counterbalances this relief. The decline in the UV index complements the changes in these weather parameters. Despite the harmony between increased rainfall and diminished sunshine, the visibility remains commendable at 10km (6.2mi). A recurring pattern of consistent wind speed is seen, cushioning the effects of the heat and humidity.

Temperature

Koupela experiences an average high-temperature of a fiery hot 37.8°C (100°F) in June, marking an insignificant shift from 40°C (104°F) in May. In June, Koupela records an average nighttime temperature of 27.4°C (81.3°F).

Heat index

Throughout June, the heat index is computed to be a burning hot 45°C (113°F). Stay watchful: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are likely. Ongoing effort may cause heatstroke.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Note: In June, a daily UV index of 8 turns into the following recommendations:
Take the necessary steps to protect yourself; unprotected skin and eyes are vulnerable to damage. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, and note that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer full sun protection. Counter UV radiation's ill effects with clothing designed for sun safety and UV-resistant eyewear.
