July

Weather in July

Ouahigouya experiences July as the wettest yet with rainfall soaring to an average of 53mm (2.09"). This season, many days are marked by bouts of rainfall, leading to increased soil moisture and lush greenery around. However, rainfall does not make a dent to the visibility, retaining it at a constant 10 km, providing clear views throughout the month. The prominence in July's weather pattern can be mapped to its high rainfall and overall high levels of humidity, giving relief from the previous months' continuous heat.

Temperature

Ouahigouya in July undergoes a slight reduction in the average high-temperature, shifting from June's very hot 39.6°C (103.3°F) to a still sweltering 36.3°C (97.3°F). In Ouahigouya, July nights cool down to an average of 27.3°C (81.1°F).

Heat index

July's average heat index is computed to be a blistering 43°C (109.4°F). Take note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke can occur with prolonged effort.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
