June weather forecast
Sikasso, Mali

June's weather in Sikasso carries the characteristics of a typical wet season month. Rainfall drops from May's levels, setting up a more consistent trend for upcoming months. The influence of slightly increased cloud cover on the temperature is slight and does nothing to affect the temperatures. The overall monotony of the month's weather is broken by the slight reduction in the hours of sunshine, barely noticeable against the backdrop of the consistent daylight hours. Slight deviations in wind speeds and atmospheric pressure from the preceding month transition the city into July.

Heat index

In June, the average heat index is appraised at a blazing hot 47°C (116.6°F). Eyes open: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Prolonged exertion could lead to heatstroke.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
