The arrival of June brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 32.6°C (90.7°F), closely following the temperature pattern of May. El Chal experiences a steady low-temperature of 22.3°C (72.1°F) throughout June.

Heat index

For June, the heat index is computed to be a life-threatening hot 47°C (116.6°F). Beware: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are on the cards. Heatstroke could result from sustained physical activity.
Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. 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 are essentially critical for children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

Note: In June, the UV index of 7 transforms into the following advice:
Elude overexposure. Fair-skinned people could get burnt in less than 20 minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure to the Sun during this period. On sunny days, it's ideal to wear sunglasses that filter out UVA and UVB rays.
