June weather forecast
Tarakan, Indonesia

The transition from May to June brings about an evident decrease in sunshine hours, despite maintaining the same daylight hours. This implies that cloudy skies could be a common sight during this month. Even with fewer sunshine hours, the average high temperature remains relatively unaffected. The drop in rainfall from the previous month indicates the beginning of the less wet season. However, the weather still manages to maintain a blend of sun, wind, and occasional showers.

Temperature

The advent of June in Tarakan denotes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 30.3°C (86.5°F), subtly different from May's 30.7°C (87.3°F). A mild drop to an average of 26.3°C (79.3°F) marks the nights during June.

Heat index

June's average heat index is computed to be a fiery hot 38°C (100.4°F). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.

UV radiation from the Sun is most intense between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. Clothes that are both tight-knit and comfortably loose are prime choices for sun protection. Watch out! Reflections from sand and water can surge UV radiation exposure.
