June weather forecast
Ondo, Nigeria

June marks a small reprieve in Ondo's rain-drenched months, with a decrease in rainfall from 122mm (4.8") to 139mm (5.47"), compared to May. The high-pressure system experienced in May continues to persist, while the relative humidity reaches the year's peak. The cloud percentage also shows a jump, contributing to a drop in sunlight hours and slightly lower temperatures than the preceding months. June's weather generally sets the tone for the remaining monsoon period, leading into similarly climatic conditions in July and August.

Temperature

With June's arrival, Ondo notes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 30°C (86°F), closely following the trend of the preceding month. The average low-temperature, in June, in Ondo, is a pleasant 22°C (71.6°F).

Heat index

June's average heat index is computed to be a blisteringly hot 40°C (104°F). Take more preventive steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is elevated. Long activity may culminate in heatstroke.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 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 has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.

Beware of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals risk burning in less than 20 minutes. Avoid direct exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, noting that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer complete sun protection. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
