The first month of the rainy (monsoon) season,
June, is also a hot month in
Kozhikode,
India, with temperature in the range of an average high of 30.5°C (86.9°F) and an average low of 24.8°C (76.6°F).
Temperature
June's presence marks an average high-temperature of a still hot 30.5°C (86.9°F), subtly varied from
May's 32.8°C (91°F). Kozhikode records an average low of 24.8°C (76.6°F) throughout the nights in June.
Heat index
June's heat index is calculated to be a blistering 42°C (107.6°F). Implement more safety precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may happen. Persistent activity could induce heatstroke.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
Humidity
In Kozhikode, the average relative humidity in June is 88%.

Note: In June, the UV index of 12 transforms into the following advice:
Utilize all vital precautions. Guarding against sun harm is non-negotiable. Limit your direct sun exposure, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest. Shade structures might not provide complete sun protection. Protect your eyes, ears, face, and neck from the Sun by wearing a wide-brimmed hat. Following every swim or outdoor workout, a sunscreen with an SPF of not less than 30 should be liberally applied and re-applied frequently, even on overcast days. Beware! The reflection of water and sand dramatically increases exposure to the UV rays.
