The first month of the rainy (monsoon) season,
June, is still a hot month in
Bhavnagar,
India, with an average temperature ranging between max 34.5°C (94.1°F) and min 27.1°C (80.8°F).
Temperature
The beginning of June brings a slight decrease in the average high-temperature, transitioning from a fiery hot 39.4°C (102.9°F) in
May to a tropical 34.5°C (94.1°F). Bhavnagar registers a consistent average low-temperature of 27.1°C (80.8°F) during June.
Heat index
The average heat index in June is evaluated at a burning hot 45°C (113°F).
Keep guard: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued activity increases the risk of heatstroke.
Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
Humidity
In Bhavnagar, the average relative humidity in June is 64%.
Rainfall
In June, the rain falls for 6 days. Throughout June, 49mm (1.93") of precipitation is accumulated. In Bhavnagar, during the entire year, the rain falls for 31 days and collects up to 593mm (23.35") of precipitation.
