Weather in June

June brings about a decrease in terms of both rainfalls as well as humidity, effecting a notable contrast when compared with May. The weather starts to show first signs of moving away from excessive rain-filled days. The average high temperature in June picks up to 31.5°C (88.7°F) after the relatively cooler month of May. June sets the stage for a sequence of months with relatively lesser sunshine and consistent amounts of rainfall. A more moderate weather pattern awaits the city as it moves into July.

Temperature

With the onset of June, the average high-temperature stands at a still tropical 31.5°C (88.7°F), closely aligned with May's 31.7°C (89.1°F). In June, Etoumbi encounters an average low-temperature of 22.3°C (72.1°F) during the night.

Heat index

June's heat index is appraised at an extremely hot 41°C (105.8°F). Ensure heightened precautions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Sustained activity could provoke heatstroke.
Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in June is 75%.

Apply measures and align with sun safety principles. Safeguarding against skin and eye injury is pivotal. Avoid exposure to the Sun and try to stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent, but be aware that parasols or canopies may not offer full protection. In bright sunlight, prioritize sunglasses that grant protection from UVA and UVB radiation.
