Minicoy, is also a hot month, with temperature in the range of an average low of 25.1°C (77.2°F) and an average high of 30.8°C (87.4°F).
Temperature
Transitioning into June, Minicoy records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 30.8°C (87.4°F), almost identical to
May's 32.1°C (89.8°F). During June nights, Minicoy records an average temperature of 25.1°C (77.2°F).
Heat index
June's mean heat index is computed to be a scorching 40°C (104°F). Implement more safety precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may happen. Persistent activity could induce heatstroke.
Heat index specifics point out values are for conditions of shade and a slight breeze. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
