June weather forecast
Siglé, Burkina Faso

June generally brings copious amounts of rain to Siglé, marking a continuation of the wet season. This month observes a shift from the very hot conditions of May to a slightly cooler atmosphere. Higher humidity coupled with rainfall significantly increases, creating a very humid microclimate throughout the city. Notably, it is in June that the wind gusts reach 17km/h (10.6mph), the highest throughout the year. Looking ahead, the city should expect peak rainfall totals in July.

A minor adjustment in Siglé's average high-temperature is noted with the start of June, touching a fiery hot 38.2°C (100.8°F) from May's 40.3°C (104.5°F). In the month of June, the nighttime temperature in Siglé dips to a steady average of 27.8°C (82°F).

Heat index

The heat index for June is estimated at a blazing hot 45°C (113°F). Prudent: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Heatstroke becomes imminent with sustained exertion.
Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are quite important 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 physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

Note: In June, the maximum UV index of 8 suggests these recommendations:
Precautions are essential; the risk of damage to unprotected skin and eyes is too high. 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. For holistic sun protection encompassing the eyes, ears, face, and neck, a wide-brim hat is key.
