With the start of June, Ayem measures an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 29°C (84.2°F), not significantly differing from May's 30.3°C (86.5°F). An average nighttime temperature of 20.8°C (69.4°F) is recorded during June.

Heat index

The heat index in June is calculated to be a sweltering 36°C (96.8°F). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Humidity

In June, the average relative humidity is 87%.

Incorporate safeguards and honour sun safety principles. Protection from skin and eye damage is obligatory. Seek shade and limit direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but be aware that not all shade structures provide complete sun protection. Protect your eyes, ears, face, and neck from the Sun by wearing a wide-brimmed hat.
