With the onset of
June,
Foshan plunges right into the heart of summer. An evident rise in temperature, coupled with peak daylight and sunshine hours, makes for long, hot days. Despite the scorching heat, June also marks the onset of the monsoon, with heavy showers being quite a common occurrence. Stepping outdoors would likely require an umbrella, despite the deceivingly clear and sunny skies.
Temperature
At the onset of June, Foshan records an average high-temperature of a tropical 31.5°C (88.7°F), showing little deviation from the preceding month. During June, the temperature in Foshan,
China, is averaged to a low of 24.8°C (76.6°F) at night.
Heat index
Throughout June, the heat index is evaluated at a scorching 44°C (111.2°F).
Stay mindful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke could follow extended physical effort.
When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance 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.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
