June weather forecast
Abuja, Nigeria

In June, Abuja sheds its previously clear skies for a cloudier outlook. The drop in UV index indicates a diverting shift towards cooler days. Despite the wind speed lowering slightly, the city's scenery remains vibrant and intact. The city experiences a dip in rainfall, amounting to 78mm (3.07") compared to May's high. Nevertheless, June's weather contributes to the city's thriving biodiversity.

Temperature

June's commencement in Abuja is accompanied by an average high-temperature of a hot 32.5°C (90.5°F), diverging marginally from May's 35.3°C (95.5°F). Abuja observes an average nighttime temperature of 23°C (73.4°F) during June.

Heat index

During June, the heat index is computed to be a blistering 44°C (111.2°F). Warning: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Heatstroke is a risk with ongoing activity.
Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. For a sun-safe wardrobe, go for clothes that are tightly woven and generously sized.
