June weather forecast
Mansa Konko, The Gambia

June, the first month of the summer in Mansa Konko, is still a torrid month, with an average temperature varying between 39.8°C (103.6°F) and 25.7°C (78.3°F).

Temperature

The transition into June shows a subtle variation to a sweltering 39.8°C (103.6°F) from May's 41.4°C (106.5°F) in the average high-temperature. Despite considerable daily temperature swings, a steady low-temperature average of 25.7°C (78.3°F) is noted throughout June.

Heat index

Throughout June, the heat index is computed to be a life-threatening hot 53°C (127.4°F). Eyes open: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Prolonged exertion could lead to heatstroke.
In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in June is 48%.

UV index

Note: The daily high UV index of 8 during June translates into the following recommendations:
Refrain from exposing skin and eyes. Without protection, they can get damaged rapidly. Avoid exposure to the Sun and try to stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent, but be aware that parasols or canopies may not offer full protection. Arm yourself against UV rays' harm with protective apparel and UV-filtering shades.
