Temperature

The transition from May to June brings an average high-temperature of a still warm 28.2°C (82.8°F), barely different from May's 28.7°C (83.7°F). The average temperature during June nights dips to an agreeable 21.9°C (71.4°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in June is appraised at a tropical 34°C (93.2°F). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.
Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.

Note: In June, a daily maximum UV index of 6 leads to the following instructions:
Take precautions against overexposure. Protection against sun damage is needed. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, and note that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer full sun protection. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes. Caution! The reflection of sand and water significantly amplifies the Sun's UV radiation.
