July weather forecast
Nakaba, Burkina Faso

July, like June, is another tropical summer month in Nakaba, Burkina Faso, with an average temperature ranging between max 34.1°C (93.4°F) and min 25°C (77°F).

Temperature

The onset of July entails a subtle temperature shift, as the average high-temperature eases from a sweltering 37.8°C (100°F) in June to a tropical 34.1°C (93.4°F). Nakaba registers a consistent average low-temperature of 25°C (77°F) during July.

Heat index

The heat index in July is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 42°C (107.6°F). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

Humidity

In Nakaba, the average relative humidity in July is 60%.

Rainfall

In July, the rain falls for 14.1 days. Throughout July, 62mm (2.44") of precipitation is accumulated. In Nakaba, during the entire year, the rain falls for 74.3 days and collects up to 304mm (11.97") of precipitation.

Sunshine

The average sunshine in July is 10.6h.

UV index

The average daily maximum UV index in July is 7. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: The maximum UV index of 7 during July leads to these instructions:
Endorse precautions and be consistent with sun safety guidelines. Preventing sunburn is paramount. Remember that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
