June weather forecast
Guinagourou, Benin

June weather shows noticeable changes as Guinagourou approaches the maximum rainfall for the year. Days become wetter and less sunny, contributing to higher humidity levels. Still, June offers a significant number of sunshine hours, despite being on average, the cloudiest month. The climate remains comfortably warm.

Temperature

Guinagourou, Benin, experiences a subtle adjustment in high-temperatures to a hot 32.8°C (91°F) with the onset of June, maintaining near parity with May's 35.3°C (95.5°F). Throughout the month of June, Guinagourou witnesses an average temperature of 22.8°C (73°F).

Heat index

In June, the heat index is evaluated at a blistering 44°C (111.2°F). Heed: Expect heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continued action may cause heatstroke.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Humidity

In June, the average relative humidity is 73%.

Rainfall

In Guinagourou, during June, the rain falls for 15.6 days and regularly aggregates up to 55mm (2.17") of precipitation. Throughout the year, there are 139.7 rainfall days, and 607mm (23.9") of precipitation is accumulated.

UV index

In June, the average daily maximum UV index is 7. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.
Note: During June, 7 as the daily maximum UV index converts into the following advice:
Shun overexposure. Protection from sun ravages is indispensable. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the period of highest UV radiation. Remember, however, that not all shade structures offer full protection. It's wise to wear UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses when the sun shines brightly.
