June weather forecast
Al Qadarif, Sudan

June marks a notable shift in Al Qadarif's weather narrative, emphasizing the monsoon influence with increased rain and reduced sunlight exposure. The month showcases the onset of the rainy season, adding a refreshing change to the persistent dry climate. The city witnesses the annual maximum rainfall of 40mm (1.57"), however, the high humidity of 40% comes hand-in-hand, adding a distinctive heaviness to the air. The relative cooling down of Al Qadarif continues into June, with average maximum temperatures settling to a more moderate range. Despite this, the extended sunlight periods promise to keep the city vibrant.

Temperature

With the advent of June, Al Qadarif's high-temperatures adjust to a still sweltering 37.2°C (99°F), closely aligning with the preceding month. Al Qadarif experiences an average low-temperature of 27.3°C (81.1°F) in month of June.

Heat index

The average heat index in June is calculated to be an extremely hot 42°C (107.6°F). Adopt heightened preventive measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Persistent activity could lead to heatstroke.
Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

Humidity

Protection should always be a priority. Skin and eyes are vulnerable without it. Be aware that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and try to reduce direct sun exposure during this period as much as possible. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects.
