June weather forecast
Kimpese, Democratic Republic of Congo

June, the first month of the winter in Kimpese, is still a hot month, with an average temperature ranging between min 18.8°C (65.8°F) and max 31°C (87.8°F).

Temperature

Upon the beginning of June, Kimpese's high-temperatures register at a still tropical 31°C (87.8°F), closely mirroring the preceding month. During June, Kimpese's temperature records a considerable difference from its daily highs to an average low of 18.8°C (65.8°F).

Heat index

For most parts of June, the heat index is computed to be a very hot 38°C (100.4°F). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.
The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in June is 72%.

UV index

The months with the lowest UV index in Kimpese are January through August, October through December, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.
Note: The daily high UV index of 6 during June translates into the following recommendations:
Implement preventive steps and embrace sun safety standards. Protection from skin and eye distress is compulsory. Remember that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. Consider a wide-brim hat essential for effective sun defense covering your face, neck, and eyes.
