June weather forecast
Thies, Senegal

June in Thies, Senegal, marks the arrival of the rainy season. With rainfall quantity quadrupling to 6mm (0.24"), it's a welcome relief from the earlier drier spells. However, the increase in rainfall doesn't compromise the amount of sunlight, keeping Thies warm and bright. Meanwhile, the wind’s pace recedes to 14.9km/h (9.3mph), further amplifying the warmth. The increased moisture makes the atmosphere denser, pushing humidity levels up.

Heat index

The heat index value during June is appraised at a blisteringly hot 41°C (105.8°F). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. 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. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. 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.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.
