June weather forecast
Leo, Burkina Faso

As the calendar turns to June, the folks in Leo seem to celebrate the rain showers that cool the previous hot temperatures. Extensive cloud coverage blankets overhead, bringing daily relief from the sun in the form of increased rainfall. With the transition into the third quarter of the year, an exquisite blend of weather conditions paint the city landscape. The profound transformation from the typically dry conditions in the first half of the year to the current refreshing state is truly remarkable. As the inhabitants look forward to July, they anticipate fewer sunshine hours, more rain, and a slight dip in temperature.

Temperature

The shift from May to June is characterized by an average high-temperature of a still fiery hot 37.3°C (99.1°F), not significantly different from the 39.8°C (103.6°F) of May. Throughout June, an average nighttime temperature of 26.3°C (79.3°F) is experienced in Leo, Burkina Faso.

Heat index

June's mean heat index is estimated at a burning hot 47°C (116.6°F). Keep guard: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued activity increases the risk of heatstroke.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Humidity

In June, the average relative humidity is 51%.

Rainfall

In June, in Leo, the rain falls for 12 days. Throughout June, 47mm (1.85") of precipitation is accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 108.6 rainfall days, and 382mm (15.04") of precipitation is accumulated.

UV index

The months with the lowest UV index are January, June through October and December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: The UV index of 7 during June translates into the following guidance:
Ward off overexposure. Defence against solar harm is crucial. Avoid direct Sun exposure and stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is most intense, noting that not all shade structures offer full protection. To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat.
