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.

Madogbo in June undergoes a slight reduction in the average high-temperature, shifting from May's hot 33.2°C (91.8°F) to a moderately hot 29.7°C (85.5°F). June's average low-temperature reading in Madogbo settles at an agreeable 21.5°C (70.7°F).

Heat index

The heat index for June is computed to be a fiery hot 39°C (102.2°F). Undertake enhanced precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible risks. Continuous activity could trigger heatstroke.
Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
