Published in Clothing & Heat 1 min read

Yes, it is hot in a burka, especially in the summer.

Here's a breakdown:

  • A burka covers the entire body and head, restricting airflow. According to the provided reference, the burka covers the whole body and head, with only a piece of netting that lets the woman see out.
  • The fabric traps heat.
  • Moving around in a burka can be difficult, contributing to overheating. The reference notes that it is hard to move around in a burka.
  • Burkas are often made of thicker materials, further exacerbating the heat.

While burkas come in different colors, including white, brown, and green, and are often sky blue, the material and complete coverage mean heat becomes a significant issue, particularly during warmer months.
