Weather in June

June, the first month of the summer in Baracoa, is still a tropical month, with an average temperature varying between 30.8°C (87.4°F) and 23.8°C (74.8°F).

Temperature

The dawn of June sees an average high-temperature of a still hot 30.8°C (87.4°F), subtly contrasting with May's 31.1°C (88°F). An average nighttime temperature of 23.8°C (74.8°F) is noted in Baracoa during the month of June.

Heat index

In June, the average heat index is computed to be a blistering 41°C (105.8°F). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.

Humidity

In June, the average relative humidity is 81%.

Rainfall

The month with the most rainfall is June, when the rain falls for 26.2 days and typically aggregates up to 158mm (6.22") of precipitation.

UV index

March through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index in Baracoa. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: In June, a daily maximum UV index of 7 leads to the following instructions:
Persist with safeguards and heed sun safety doctrines. Keeping sunburn at bay is of prime importance. 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. Counter UV radiation's ill effects with clothing designed for sun safety and UV-resistant eyewear.
