June weather forecast
Kingston, Jamaica

June in Kingston carries the traits of a tropical summer. While the soaring daylight hours and high relative humidity mark the warmth of summer, the decline in rainfall from the previous month is apparent. Moreover, June also presents a surprising minor drop in sea temperatures. A slight reduction in rainfall can be anticipated in July, alongside an increase in air temperature.

Temperature

June's onset sees an average high-temperature of a still tropical 32.1°C (89.8°F), exhibiting a slight fluctuation from the previous month. Throughout June, an average low-temperature of 24.2°C (75.6°F) is expected.

Heat index

For most parts of June, the heat index is evaluated at a scorching 41°C (105.8°F). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.
It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.

Ensure every key safety measure. People with light skin might sustain burns in fewer than 5 minutes. Limit your direct sun exposure, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest. Shade structures might not provide complete sun protection. In the presence of strong sunlight, it's crucial to wear sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays. Following every swim or outdoor workout, a sunscreen with an SPF of not less than 30 should be liberally applied and re-applied frequently, even on overcast days. Attention! UV radiation is ramped up when reflecting off sand and water surfaces.
