June weather forecast
Bambali, The Gambia

A notable feature of June in Bambali is the culmination of the maximum temperature and humidity levels. Rainfall garners momentum, reaching up to 16mm (0.63"), signalling the peak of the season. The cloud coverage multiplies to create a temperate blanket over the region. Uplifted wind speeds add to the climate dynamics, transforming the landscape into a live painting. The increased sunshine duration offers ample time to soak up the subdued sun's warmth.

Temperature

The transition into June shows a subtle variation to a still blisteringly hot 40.3°C (104.5°F) from May's 41.8°C (107.2°F) in the average high-temperature. During June, Bambali reports a marked contrast from daily peak temperatures, with an average nighttime reading of 26°C (78.8°F).

Heat index

In June, the average heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 52°C (125.6°F). Be prepared: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Continued activity may lead to heatstroke.
Be informed that the heat index values are oriented around shady conditions and gentle breezes. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.

Humidity

In June, the average relative humidity is 44%.

Take extra precautions. Protection against sun damage is required. The Sun's UV radiation is most powerful between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. To the extent possible, limit exposure to the direct sun during these hours. Employ a hat with a wide brim for robust protection, cutting UV exposure by half.
