June weather forecast
Maikaba, Central African Republic

In June, the weather conditions in Maikaba, Central African Republic, fluctuate towards even higher humidity levels and heavier rainfall. While the overall temperature sees a downtrend from the highs of March, the considerable increase in humidity, reaching 58%, compensates for the lowering heat. June also awaits an enhancement in rainfall, reaching 66mm (2.6") over 16.7 days, signaling the much-anticipated high rain season. The boost in rain also brings a consequent increase in cloud cover, affecting sunshine duration. Still, with 12.6 hours of daylight available, the variation in Maikaba's weather cycle is felt but does not impair the city's day-to-day life too drastically.

Heat index

Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
