July weather forecast
Koba, Burkina Faso

July, the same as June, is another sweltering summer month in Koba, Burkina Faso, with an average temperature ranging between min 26.7°C (80.1°F) and max 36.3°C (97.3°F).

Temperature

With the commencement of July, Koba records a moderate temperature decline, with the average high easing from June's torrid 39.6°C (103.3°F) to a still sweltering 36.3°C (97.3°F). Koba sees an average low-temperature of 26.7°C (80.1°F) during July.

Heat index

In July, the heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 44°C (111.2°F). Be alert: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is a threat with sustained physical activity.
Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Note: In July, a daily UV index of 8 turns into the following recommendations:
Refrain from exposing skin and eyes. Without protection, they can get damaged rapidly. Limit your direct sun exposure, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest. Shade structures might not provide complete sun protection. Equip yourself with UVA and UVB-filtering sunglasses on clear, sunny days.
