July weather forecast
Batie, Burkina Faso

Amidst the high summer months, July stands out as the wettest month in Batie, with rainfall amounts reaching a peak of 102mm (4.02"). This climatic shift plays a pivotal role in balancing the heat, providing a necessary respite from the otherwise relentless sun. A significant decrease in sunshine hours further invites a somewhat cooler atmosphere. With the biggest drop in UV indexes occurring, Batie reassures lesser sun damages. Notably, the increased rainfall does not affect the average air pressure, ensuring a largely stable weather pattern despite the downpours.

Temperature

July's arrival comes with a mild decrease in the average high-temperature, moving subtly from a fiery hot 35.3°C (95.5°F) in June to a tropical 31.2°C (88.2°F). Throughout the July nights, Batie encounters a low-temperature of 22.8°C (73°F).

Heat index

July's mean heat index is estimated at a very hot 39°C (102.2°F). Take more preventive steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is elevated. Long activity may culminate in heatstroke.
When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in July is 74%.

Stand by precautions and apply sun safety measures. Evading sunburn is of great importance. Stay out of direct sunlight and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest, but remember that shade devices may not offer full sun protection. Equip yourself with UVA and UVB-filtering sunglasses on clear, sunny days.
