June weather forecast
Masungbo, Sierra Leone

The first month of the summer, June, is also a hot month in Masungbo, Sierra Leone, with an average temperature ranging between min 22.6°C (72.7°F) and max 31.2°C (88.2°F).

Temperature

The onset of June entails a subtle temperature shift, as the average high-temperature eases from a tropical 34.3°C (93.7°F) in May to a still hot 31.2°C (88.2°F). During June, Masungbo's temperature averages to an agreeable 22.6°C (72.7°F) at night.

Heat index

The heat index for June is estimated at a blisteringly hot 44°C (111.2°F). Caution: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Sustained activity could lead to heatstroke.
It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. 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. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.

Note: An average UV index of 6 in June transforms into this advice:
Fend off overexposure. Sun protection is vital. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. Always opt for UVA and UVB-resistant sunglasses on radiant days.
