Temperature

The arrival of June marks a slight shift to an average high-temperature of a still hot 30.4°C (86.7°F) from May's 32.9°C (91.2°F). Throughout June, the temperature tends to fall to a consistent average low of 22.4°C (72.3°F).

Heat index

For most parts of June, the heat index is evaluated at a blistering 41°C (105.8°F). Heightened safety actions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may lead to heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
