July weather forecast
Nafona, Burkina Faso

July, like June, is another tropical summer month in Nafona, Burkina Faso, with an average temperature varying between 31.7°C (89.1°F) and 22.8°C (73°F).

Temperature

July reveals a small adjustment in temperature, transitioning from an average high of a very hot 35.6°C (96.1°F) in June to a tropical 31.7°C (89.1°F). An average minimum temperature of 22.8°C (73°F) is recorded during the month of July.

Heat index

Throughout July, the heat index is estimated at a blistering 41°C (105.8°F). Implement enhanced safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Sustained activity might result in heatstroke.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. 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.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.

Incorporate safeguards and honour sun safety principles. Protection from skin and eye damage is obligatory. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. Limit sun-induced ocular harm with sunglasses that feature UVA and UVB filtration.
