June weather forecast
Koupela, Burkina Faso

June introduces the wet phase in Koupela, with an increased rainfall of 26mm (1.02"). Maximum temperatures start to regress, reaching a mild 37.8°C (100°F) but the increase in relative humidity up to 45% counterbalances this relief. The decline in the UV index complements the changes in these weather parameters. Despite the harmony between increased rainfall and diminished sunshine, the visibility remains commendable at 10km (6.2mi). A recurring pattern of consistent wind speed is seen, cushioning the effects of the heat and humidity.

Temperature

Koupela registers an average high-temperature of a sweltering 37.8°C (100°F) with the arrival of June, showing minor deviation from the preceding month. During June, Koupela experiences an average low-temperature of 27.4°C (81.3°F) at night.

Heat index

For most parts of June, the heat index is estimated at a life-threatening hot 45°C (113°F). Forewarned: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Ongoing physical activity increases the likelihood of heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

Humidity

In June, the average relative humidity is 45%.

UV index

March through June and October, with an average maximum UV index of 8, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index of 8 to 10 symbolizes a very high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.
Note: An average UV index of 8 in June transforms into this advice:
Always prioritize safety measures. Rapid harm can befall unprotected skin and eyes. The time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. is when UV radiation is at its peak. Limit exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
