June weather forecast
Katsina, Nigeria

In June, the wet season in Katsina consolidates with an escalated measure of rainfall. A perceptible decrease in sunshine hours due to increased cloud cover signals the peak of the wet season. Relative humidity levels further increase, making the days more humid and nights cooler. Despite the rainfall, daytime temperatures stay notably high. A significant rise to 41mm (1.61") in rainfall is seen compared to previous months.

Temperature

As June unfolds in Katsina, the average high-temperature reaches a very hot 37.8°C (100°F), hinting at a slight fluctuation from the previous month. During the nights in June, Katsina experiences a consistent average temperature of 28.1°C (82.6°F).

Heat index

During June, the heat index is calculated to be an extremely hot 43°C (109.4°F). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are quite likely. Heatstroke becomes a risk with continued exertion.
In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.

Humidity

In June, the average relative humidity in Katsina is 40%.

Without proper safety measures, skin and eyes can be quickly harmed. Be sure to protect yourself. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects.
