June weather forecast
Fada-Ngourma, Burkina Faso

Arriving in June, Fada-Ngourma's weather continues its progressive shift towards increased rainfall. The city's inhabitants take advantage of the overcast conditions to enjoy outdoor activities. The increase in relative humidity adds a level of comfort as the months roll by. Compared to May, June shows a significant increase in rainfall along with a subtle decline in sunshine hours. Nevertheless, the prime feature of June's weather is the abundant 26mm (1.02") rainfall, further deepening the established rainy pattern.

Temperature

A minimal variation is noted in Fada-Ngourma's average high-temperature at the onset of June, reaching a sweltering 37.8°C (100°F) from May's 40°C (104°F). Fada-Ngourma sees an average low-temperature of 27.4°C (81.3°F) during June.

Heat index

June's average heat index is evaluated at a burning hot 45°C (113°F). Be wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are highly anticipated. With continued activity, heatstroke is very likely.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Children frequently do not comprehend the need for rest and hydration. Thirst is an advanced stage of dehydration - staying hydrated, especially during extended physical exercises, is essential.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

Be constantly cautious; skin and eyes can be quickly affected if left unprotected. 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. Equip yourself with UVA and UVB-filtering sunglasses on clear, sunny days.
