June weather forecast
Papia, Guinea-Bissau

June, the first month of the summer in Papia, is still a very hot month, with an average temperature varying between 25.3°C (77.5°F) and 37.9°C (100.2°F).

Temperature

The advent of June denotes an average high-temperature of a fiery hot 37.9°C (100.2°F), subtly different from May's 40.5°C (104.9°F). With a notable disparity from daily peak temperatures, the average low-temperature settles at a moderately hot 25.3°C (77.5°F) throughout June.

Heat index

In June, the average heat index is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 53°C (127.4°F). Keep wary: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a possible outcome of ongoing activity.
The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

Humidity

In June, the average relative humidity is 57%.

Rainfall

In Papia, in June, during 10.3 rainfall days, 35mm (1.38") of precipitation is typically accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 109.1 rainfall days, and 654mm (25.75") of precipitation is accumulated.

Sunshine

In June, the average sunshine is 9h.

UV index

In Papia, the average daily maximum UV index in June is 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.
Note: A daily maximum UV index of 7 in June translates into the following instructions:
Avert overexposure. Light-skinned people might experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide full protection. Sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays play a pivotal role in reducing solar eye damage.
