June weather forecast
Tomena, Burkina Faso

The first month of the summer, June, is also a fiery hot month in Tomena, Burkina Faso, with an average temperature ranging between min 24.6°C (76.3°F) and max 35.5°C (95.9°F).

Temperature

Entering June, the average high-temperature is recorded at a still fiery hot 35.5°C (95.9°F), exhibiting a minimal shift from May's 37.9°C (100.2°F). In June, Tomena encounters an average low-temperature of 24.6°C (76.3°F) during the night.

Heat index

June's average heat index is calculated to be a burning hot 46°C (114.8°F). Beware: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are on the cards. Heatstroke could result from sustained physical activity.
Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

Humidity

In June, the average relative humidity is 59%.

UV index

In Tomena, Burkina Faso, the average daily maximum UV index in June is 7. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.
Note: The UV index of 7 during June leads to these advisories:
Guard against overexposure. Protection from sun-induced harm is essential. Seek shade and limit direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but be aware that not all shade structures provide complete sun protection. In the presence of strong sunlight, it's crucial to wear sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays.
