June weather forecast
Gorgo, Burkina Faso

June, the first month of the summer in Gorgo, is also a fiery hot month, with an average temperature varying between 27.4°C (81.3°F) and 37.8°C (100°F).

Temperature

June's average high-temperature is a torrid 37.8°C (100°F), maintaining a close comparison with May's 40°C (104°F). Gorgo throughout June, experiences an average nighttime temperature of 27.4°C (81.3°F).

Heat index

June's average heat index is estimated 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.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.

Humidity

In June, the average relative humidity is 45%.

Rainfall

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are March through June and October, with an average maximum UV index of 8. A UV Index estimate of 8 to 10 represents a very high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.
Note: During June, 8 as the daily maximum UV index converts into the following advice:
Protection is paramount; otherwise, swift harm can come to the skin and eyes. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Employ a hat with a wide brim for robust protection, cutting UV exposure by half.
