July weather forecast
Pô, Burkina Faso

The peak of Pô's wet season is in July. Rising humidity levels and a significant increase in rainfall mark this period. The monthly rainfall shoots up to 75mm (2.95"), underscoring July as the wettest month of the year. The sky frequently adorns a blanket of clouds, curtailing the daylight hours. Despite lower temperatures, the weather feels warmer due to the heightened humidity.

Temperature

A mild shift in the average high-temperature occurs in July, reducing from a very hot 37.3°C (99.1°F) in June to a tropical 33.2°C (91.8°F). The average temperature drops to a moderately hot 24.2°C (75.6°F) during the night in the month of July.

Heat index

During July, the heat index is computed to be an extremely hot 42°C (107.6°F). Emphasize additional safety, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is high. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.
Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. 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 the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in July is 66%.

UV index

January, June through October and December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the lowest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the average person.
Note: A typical high UV index of 7 in July suggests the following recommendations:
Skirt overexposure. People with light complexions might get scorched in under 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest. Remember, however, that not all shade structures provide full sun protection. Using UVA and UVB-protective sunglasses and sun-protective clothing is effective against UV radiation.
