In early June 2025, parts of West Africa have been experiencing notably high temperatures, with several locations reaching extreme heat levels.
Senegal recorded a temperature of +46.9°C, a very intense heat for the region during this time of year, contributing to heat stress concerns for local communities.
Similarly, Algeria and Niger each saw temperatures rise to +45.1°C, significantly above their typical early June averages. These conditions increase risks for drought, strain on water resources, and challenges for agriculture.
While not unprecedented, these high temperatures highlight the ongoing warm patterns affecting West Africa during the early summer period. Authorities have advised residents to take heat precautions, such as limiting outdoor exposure during peak hours and ensuring adequate hydration.
Meteorologists remain attentive to the evolving weather patterns, as warm episodes continue to influence the region’s climate this season.
