June in Turbo, while continuing the warm and humid trend, manages to exhibit a balance in the ongoing weather pattern. The slightly reduced rainfall of 197mm (7.76") and a peak in average sunshine hours at 9.1 signals a modicum relief from the previously unrelenting rains. The months' humidity levels stay steady, along with sea and air temperatures. Consistent with the season, June maintains a high wind speed of 5.2km/h (3.2mph) which experiences a negligible change heading into July.

The start of June marks an average high-temperature of a still tropical 30.2°C (86.4°F), hardly distinguishable from the conditions in May. June nights in Turbo observe an average temperature dip to a warm 23.5°C (74.3°F).

Heat index

The heat index value for June is computed to be a blisteringly hot 40°C (104°F). Incorporate special precautions, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is substantial. Sustained activity could cause heatstroke.
When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. 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. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.

Note: The maximum UV index, 6 during June, leads to the following recommendations:
Enforce precautions and stick to sun safety measures. Preservation from skin and eye damage is essential. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. A wide-brim hat offers excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck. Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection significantly reduce eye damage from sun exposure. Alert! Sand and water increase UV exposure due to their reflective properties.
