July weather forecast
Leo, Burkina Faso

Leo's climatic symphony hits its crescendo in July, with precipitation reaching a high of 115mm (4.53"). Despite the rains, the city offers a cool retreat from the summer sun, with pleasant temperatures prevailing throughout the day. The highest humidity levels of the year, at 78%, keep the downpour consistent and the cityscape lush. An anticipation of the return of the dry weather can be felt as July rolls into August. This phase of intensive rainfall generates a weather climax that underscores the vibrant and dynamic nature of the city.

Temperature

The arrival of July signals a subtle shift in temperature, down from a very hot 37.3°C (99.1°F) in June to a hot 33.2°C (91.8°F). Nighttime temperature experiences an average drop to a moderately hot 24.2°C (75.6°F) in July.

Heat index

Throughout July, the heat index is computed to be a blisteringly hot 42°C (107.6°F). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.

Act on precautions and pay attention to sun safety recommendations. Avoidance of sunburn is obligatory. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. Loose clothes with a tight weave are optimal for safeguarding yourself against the Sun's rays.
