June weather forecast
Kailahun, Sierra Leone

June presents a continuation of the rainy season, nearing peak rainfall at 171mm (6.73"). The drop in both high and low temperatures offers Kailahun some respite from the preceding warmth. The less sunny days get compensated by the extended daylight hours. Humidity levels peak, leading to a heavier atmosphere and increased cloud cover. Despite these changes, Kailahun remains vibrant, attributing its beauty to the synergistic play of rainfall and temperature.

Temperature

June's weather displays an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 29.3°C (84.7°F), slightly varied from May's 32.1°C (89.8°F). An average low-temperature of 21.2°C (70.2°F) is expected during June.

Heat index

In June, the average heat index is computed to be a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Apply extra caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke might occur with long-duration activity.
Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. 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. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.
