June weather forecast
Esperanza, Belize

June signals the onset of the wet season in Esperanza, undeniably evidenced by the abrupt leap in rainfall to a whopping 88mm (3.46"). This month is recognized as one of Belize's wettest, with conditions resulting in cloud cover obscuring more than half the sky. The longer daylight is increasingly shrouded in rain clouds, driving a decline in sunshine hours. A drop in barometric pressure accompanies the elevated rainfall frequency.

Heat index

The average heat index in June is estimated at a scorching 43°C (109.4°F). Stay vigilant: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke may follow prolonged exertion.
Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
