June weather forecast
Douala, Cameroon

June in Douala offers no respite from the previous month's deluge. Instead, it ramps up the ante by featuring the second highest monthly average rainfall. It's not just the residents who feel the impact of the heightened rainfall, but also the sea as its temperature goes on a downward trend.

Heat index

In June, the heat index is computed to be a torrid 38°C. Exercise enhanced safety steps, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke could be a result of sustained activity.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. 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 'real feel', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical 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.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.
