June weather forecastDamé, Ivory Coast

Weather in June

June sees a slight drop in temperatures, bringing a semblance of relief from the constant heat experienced in Damé. However, this relief is coupled with a continuous rainy spell, with an average rainfall of 104mm (4.09") occurring over 22.7 days. The percentage of cloud coverage is at an all-time yearly high, restricting the amount of direct sunlight reaching the surface. Despite the temperature drop, humidity levels remain relatively constant compared to May. As the city heads into July, residents anticipate a continuation of similar weather patterns.

June signals a slight drop in average high-temperature, sliding from May's 34.1°C (93.4°F) to a still tropical 30.8°C (87.4°F). June nights are marked by an average low-temperature of 21.5°C (70.7°F).

Heat index

In June, the heat index is evaluated at a blistering 43°C (109.4°F). Keep alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke is a potential danger with continued physical activity.
For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. When the body's heat gain surpasses its removal capacity, body temperature starts to climb, leading to potential heat-related ailments.
