Weather in June

By June, Freetown's weather reaches its rainiest phase. Compared to May, temperatures continue to plunge, and the humidity scales up, giving the air a heavy feel. The rainfall hits its peak this month, and the sea also turns choppier due to increased wind speeds. Even though the daylight hours continue to shorten, the city remains beautifully bright for a considerable duration. The eye-catching attribute of June's weather is the impressive peak in rainfall, measuring approximately 199mm (7.83"), firmly placing this month in the midst of the wet season.

Temperature

At the start of June, Freetown's average high-temperature reaches a moderately hot 29.3°C (84.7°F), subtly different from the preceding month. In Freetown, nights during June observe an average temperature decrease to 25.3°C (77.5°F).

Heat index

June's heat index is computed to be a sweltering 36°C (96.8°F). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.
For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
