July weather forecast
Ouadangou, Burkina Faso

July, like June, is another hot summer month in Ouadangou, Burkina Faso, with an average temperature varying between 25°C (77°F) and 34.1°C (93.4°F).

Temperature

July's onset brings a negligible change in high-temperatures, falling from a very hot 37.8°C (100°F) in June to a tropical 34.1°C (93.4°F). During July, Ouadangou observes a consistent average nighttime temperature of 25°C (77°F).

Heat index

The heat index value during July is computed to be a blistering 42°C (107.6°F). Ensure heightened precautions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Sustained activity could provoke heatstroke.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
