June weather forecast
Madogbo, Sierra Leone

June continues with the dreary, rain-soaked trend set by May. Even though the amount of rainfall dips slightly, the average number of rainy days remains fairly constant. Lower temperatures complement the humid conditions, keeping the environment cool and moist. The reduction in sunshine hours and increased cloud cover further support this weather pattern. The transition into July sees weather in Madogbo remain largely unchanged, reinforcing June's rainy and humid characteristics.

Temperature

As May shifts into June, a minor alteration in temperatures is observed, with average highs reducing from a hot 33.2°C (91.8°F) to a moderately hot 29.7°C (85.5°F). Madogbo records an average nighttime low of 21.5°C (70.7°F) in June.

Heat index

The heat index value for June is appraised at a very hot 39°C (102.2°F). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
