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.

Heat index

For most parts of June, the heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 45°C (113°F). Be careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may result from extended activity.
Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. 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. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
