July, like June, is a hot summer month in Kien, Burkina Faso, with an average temperature varying between 23°C (73.4°F) and 31.8°C (89.2°F).

Temperature

As July begins, there is a minor decrease in the average high-temperature, softly falling from a torrid 35.5°C (95.9°F) in June to a hot 31.8°C (89.2°F). In the month of July, Kien records a consistent average low-temperature of 23°C (73.4°F).

Heat index

July's average heat index is computed to be a scorching 40°C (104°F). Undertake extra safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke may result from lengthy activity.
Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

Inhibit overexposure. Warding off sun damage is of utmost importance. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, but remember that shade structures may not offer complete protection. Sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays play a pivotal role in reducing solar eye damage.
