Temperature

The shift from May to June is marked by a slight increase in the average high-temperature, moving from a tropical 34°C (93.2°F) to a very hot 37.3°C (99.1°F). Djibouti records an average nighttime low of 30.9°C (87.6°F) in June.

Heat index

Throughout June, the heat index is calculated to be a scorching 44°C (111.2°F). Stay wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Heatstroke can ensue from extended effort.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.

Note: In June, a daily UV index of 8 turns into the following recommendations:
Always be cautious. Skin and eyes can be affected swiftly without protection. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest, limit direct exposure to the Sun and note that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Employ a hat with a wide brim for robust protection, cutting UV exposure by half. Stay cautious! Sand and water reflections increase UV radiation potency.
