July weather forecast
Pompoï, Burkina Faso

July, the same as June, in Pompoï, Burkina Faso, is another tropical summer month, with an average temperature varying between 24.6°C (76.3°F) and 34°C (93.2°F).

Temperature

The start of July comes with a small reduction in the average high-temperature, subtly receding from a torrid 38.1°C (100.6°F) in June to a tropical 34°C (93.2°F). In Pompoï, an average temperature of 24.6°C (76.3°F) is noted during July nights.

Heat index

The heat index in July is evaluated at a scorching 43°C (109.4°F). Beware: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are very likely. Heatstroke is imminent with prolonged activity.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
