Temperature

The average high-temperature in June, at a torrid 38.1°C (100.6°F), reveals a modest deviation from May's 40.3°C (104.5°F). In June, Madou encounters an average low-temperature of 26.8°C (80.2°F) during the night.

Heat index

The heat index in June is computed to be a burning hot 47°C (116.6°F). Stay wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Heatstroke can ensue from extended effort.
It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Be proactive in protecting yourself; skin and eyes can be harmed if left unprotected. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. On sunny days, it's ideal to wear sunglasses that filter out UVA and UVB rays.
