June weather forecast
Poura, Burkina Faso

June sees continuity of the rainy season in Poura. The climate does foster a degree of humidity, but it's not overbearing or uncomfortable. The showers have a cooling effect on the surroundings, creating a comfortable environment despite the fact that temperatures continue to thunder on. An increase in rainfall is evident, with June recording 35mm (1.38") compared to May's 28mm (1.1"). The change in weather does not deter life and activities in the region, with farming being at the epicenter given the ample water supply.

Temperature

As May transitions into June, Poura records an average high-temperature of a very hot 38.1°C (100.6°F), showing a gentle shift from the preceding month. Throughout June, Poura anticipates an average low-temperature of 26.8°C (80.2°F).

Heat index

Throughout June, the heat index is estimated at a blazing hot 47°C (116.6°F). Keep guard: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued activity increases the risk of heatstroke.
From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
