Nanchang experiences a distinct shift in weather during
June. The rising heat, accompanied by the city's highest average rainfall of 307mm (12.09"), signals the arrival of early summer. There is an unmistakable contrast in the weather conditions during the day and night. With nature in full bloom, this is a great time to explore the city's abundant parks and gardens despite the peak in humidity.
Temperature
With the onset of June, Nanchang experiences a subtle temperature shift, with the average high-temperature moving from a moderately hot 26.3°C (79.3°F) in
May to a still warm 29.4°C (84.9°F). June witnesses an average low-temperature hovering around an agreeable 22.8°C (73°F).
Heat index
During June, the heat index is evaluated at a torrid 37°C (98.6°F). Undertake extra safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke may result from lengthy activity.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

Implement every essential safety step. Individuals with fair skin might receive burns in less than 5 minutes. Remember that UV radiation from the Sun is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to limit direct sun exposure during this time. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays. Even on a cloudy day, sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30 should be used liberally and reapplied often, especially after a swim or outdoor activity.
