June signifies the continuation of the blazing weather conditions experienced in
Jalalabad,
Afghanistan. The increase in temperature is supplemented by an expansion in daylight hours, enabling the sun to be a constant presence. Despite a noticeable fall in relative humidity, the UV index remains at its highest, mandating sun care. As we look into
July, there will be some relief with a slight rise in rainfall, providing respite from the dry spell. Remarkably, this month has the temperatures varying from 24.7°C (76.5°F) to a staggering 40.4°C (104.7°F).
Temperature
June, with average temperatures reaching a high of 40.4°C (104.7°F) and a low of 24.7°C (76.5°F), is the warmest month.
Heat index
June's heat index is calculated to be a burning hot 49°C (120.2°F).
Take note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke can occur with prolonged effort.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital 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 keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.

Enforce every key safety measure. Those with light skin might get burns in a matter of minutes. 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. 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. Apply generously and frequently a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every two hours, or immediately after swimming or any outdoor exercise.
