Senquerem, Guinea-Bissau

June, the first month of the summer in Senquerem, is also a sweltering month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 25.3°C (77.5°F) and 37.9°C (100.2°F).

Temperature

The onset of June marks an average high-temperature of a very hot 37.9°C (100.2°F), hardly differing from May's 40.5°C (104.9°F). June nights in Senquerem showcase a dramatic shift from daytime highs to an average temperature of 25.3°C (77.5°F).

Heat index

June's mean heat index is evaluated at a burning hot 53°C (127.4°F). Stay watchful: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are likely. Ongoing effort may cause heatstroke.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

Humidity

In June, the average relative humidity is 57%.

UV index

In June, the average daily maximum UV index is 7. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.
Note: The maximum UV index, 7 during June, leads to the following recommendations:
Take precautions against overexposure. Fair-skinned people may get burned in less than 20 minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is most powerful between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. To the extent possible, limit exposure to the direct sun during these hours. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
