Yichang greets
June with temperatures scaling towards a high of 29.7°C (85.5°F), facilitating the onset of summer. The days become noticeably longer, providing ample sunshine. Although humidity is on the rise, it is kept in check by the Taiwanese breeze, preventing discomfort. This period witnesses an accelerated pace of life, as events and activities take advantage of the weather. That being said, the month is not without its share of precipitation, reminding residents of Yichang's diverse climate.
Temperature
The shift from
May to June introduces a subtle increase in the average high-temperature, moving from 26.6°C (79.9°F) to a still moderately hot 29.7°C (85.5°F). During the month of June, Yichang anticipates a mean low-temperature of 21.5°C (70.7°F).
Heat index
In June, the average heat index is evaluated at a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.
Be informed that the heat index values are oriented around shady conditions and gentle breezes. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.

UV index
May through
August, with an average maximum UV index of 11, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index value of 11, and more, symbolizes an extreme health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.
Note: A maximum UV index of 11 in June translates into the following recommendations:
Employ every precaution of importance, unprotected skin and eyes could burn within moments. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation. Limit direct exposure to the Sun during these hours. Safeguard your eyes, ears, and face from sun rays with the aid of a wide-brim hat. Broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen must be generously applied and reapplied every two hours or post any outdoor activity or swim.
