June in
Sharjah is synonymous with extreme summer heat, prompting residents to avoid the outdoors during peak sunshine hours. A marked shift away from any rainfall underscores June's status as the start of the peak dry season. June reveals its aridity with no recorded rainfall days, setting itself apart from the previous months. The weather forecast for
July mirrors that of June, with little variation in all parameters. June, thus, rings in the most intense phase of the hot, arid summer in Sharjah.
Temperature
The beginning of June in Sharjah,
United Arab Emirates, records an average high-temperature of a blistering 40.8°C (105.4°F), almost echoing the conditions of the previous month. Sharjah experiences a substantial divergence from daytime highs in June, with average lows hovering around a warm 24.6°C (76.3°F).
Heat index
For most parts of June, the heat index is estimated at a blazing hot 62°C (143.6°F).
Warning: These weather conditions are understood as overly dangerous, heatstroke is inevitable.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
Humidity
In June, the average relative humidity is 56%.
Rainfall
June,
August through
October are months without rainfall.
Sea temperature

UV index
The months with the highest UV index are
April through August, with an average maximum UV index of 12. A UV Index estimate of 11, and higher, represents an extreme threat to health from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for average individuals.
Note: During June, 12 as the daily maximum UV index converts into the following advice:
Practice every essential safety step. People with fair skin could receive burns in fewer than 5 minutes. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., UV radiation is strongest. Make an effort to avoid direct sunlight during this time, remembering that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Shield yourself from the harmful effects of UV radiation with sun-protective attire, a hat, and quality sunglasses. Directly after outdoor activities or swimming, a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+ should be applied generously and reapplied frequently. Warning! The reflection of sand and water increases the UV dose.
