July weather forecast
Balave, Burkina Faso

In July, Balave sees a continuation of the wet phase reaching its zenith. With rainfall days climbing to a peak of 15.8 and a whopping 61mm (2.4") of rainfall, July becomes the rainiest month of the year. The city observes a significant reduction in temperature from the scorching numbers of the previous months. Moreover, the sun takes a break, causing a decrease in sunshine hours, and thereby, a drop in UV Index. However, the wind speed diminishes slightly, making the weather a bit more sultry.

Temperature

Balave's progression into July involves a gentle drop in the average high-temperature, from a fiery hot 39.6°C (103.3°F) in June to a still torrid 36.3°C (97.3°F). In Balave, an average temperature of 26.7°C (80.1°F) is noted during July nights.

Heat index

The heat index in July is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 44°C (111.2°F). Keep on guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is a possible danger with ongoing physical activity.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

It is essential to prioritize protection. Unprotected skin and eyes can suffer rapid harm. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. To mitigate harm from sun exposure, pick sunglasses offering UVA and UVB defense.
