June weather forecast
Kamabai, Sierra Leone

June in Kamabai is a continuation of the wet season, as rainfall reaches 160mm (6.3"). The city is engulfed in a flurry of downpours with a distinct dip in maximum temperatures. Consequently, relative humidity shoots up significantly, leading to a foggy atmosphere that reduces visibility. Albeit, June weather is characterized by fewer sunshine hours as a result of the rise in cloud cover. Compared to the following month, June experiences less rainfall and marginally higher temperatures, providing a break prior to July's weather extremes.

Heat index

The average heat index in June is evaluated at a scorching 44°C (111.2°F). Stay wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Heatstroke can ensue from extended effort.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
When faced with excessive heat, the human body begins to perspire, utilizing the cooling benefits of sweat evaporation. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
