June weather forecast
Ekata, Gabon

In June, Ekata's weather begins to transition, with a noticeable drop in both temperature and rainfall from the highs in May. This shift towards drier conditions is accompanied by a slight reduction in humidity levels. In terms of sunshine, June sees limited hours of direct sun compared to the brighter months, suggesting considerable cloud coverage. Wind speeds maintain their moderate course compellingly, misleading the signs of the approaching dry season.

Temperature

The introduction of June notes a subtle temperature variation to a moderately hot 28.9°C (84°F) from May's 30.3°C (86.5°F). An average nighttime temperature of 20.3°C (68.5°F) is observed during June.

Heat index

June's mean heat index is computed to be a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
When faced with excessive heat, the human body begins to perspire, utilizing the cooling benefits of sweat evaporation. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in June is 86%.

Rainfall

In June, the rain falls for 25 days. Throughout June, 116mm (4.57") of precipitation is accumulated. In Ekata, during the entire year, the rain falls for 304 days and collects up to 1415mm (55.71") of precipitation.

UV index

The average daily maximum UV index in June is 6. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.
Note: The average daily UV index of 6 in June transforms into the following instructions:
Prevent overexposure. Protection from the sun's harmful effects is needed. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is particularly strong, noting that parasols or canopies may not offer total sun protection. Sunglasses that guard against UVA and UVB rays are pivotal in minimizing sun-induced ocular damage.
