As you step into
June in
Bhubaneswar, monsoon begins to make its presence felt. Monsoon activities set in, bringing a slight relief from the intolerable summer heat as the maximum temperature decreases compared to
May. The effect of the monsoon is evident in the increased rainfall of 209mm (8.23"), marking June as the commencement of the rainy season. Humidity rises noticeably, making the weather more uncomfortable. Wet days are far from rare as June experiences a substantial increase in rainfall days.
Temperature
June's onset brings an average high-temperature of a still very hot 35.3°C (95.5°F), showing a minute difference from May's 37.2°C (99°F). Throughout June in Bhubaneswar, a steady low-temperature average of 26.1°C (79°F) is noted.
Heat index
The heat index for June is calculated to be a blazing hot 54°C (129.2°F).
Mind: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are anticipated. Heatstroke can develop with continued physical activity.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important 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 physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. 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. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
