June weather forecast
Kaduna, Nigeria

The rain continues to pour in Kaduna throughout June, with the highest peak of relative humidity recorded during this month. This substantial rainfall and increased cloud cover contribute to a further drop in temperature, especially in comparison to May. Even with these weather changes, the period of daylight continues to extend with the summer solstice.

Temperature

The transition to June in Kaduna results in a modest reduction in average high-temperature, moving from a fiery hot 35°C (95°F) in May to a tropical 31.9°C (89.4°F). The nighttime temperature, during June, averages of 22.7°C (72.9°F).

Heat index

In June, the average heat index is computed to be a blistering 40°C (104°F). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.

Humidity

Avoid excessive sunlight. Those with lighter skin may experience burning in less than 20 minutes. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Clothes that are both tight-knit and comfortably loose are prime choices for sun protection.
