June marks the start of a rainy season in
Kochi, the city experiencing the highest relative humidity of the year. The month continues the summer trend with warm temperatures and long daylight hours persisting. Despite the substantial rainfall, the sea temperature remains agreeably warm. Outdoor enthusiasts will find moderate levels of sunshine throughout June. Transitioning to the height of summer,
July brings even higher temperatures and rainfall.
Temperature
During June, the average high-temperature is a still moderately hot 27°C (80.6°F), maintaining a close resemblance to that of the preceding month. An average low-temperature of 19.4°C (66.9°F) is recorded during the nights in June in Kochi.
Heat index
June's mean heat index is computed to be 29°C (84.2°F). If exposure and ongoing activity persist, they might induce a state of tiredness and heat cramps.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
Humidity
In Kochi, the average relative humidity in June is 77%.
Rainfall
In June, in Kochi,
Japan, the rain falls for 19.1 days. Throughout June, 346mm (13.62") of precipitation is accumulated. In Kochi, during the entire year, the rain falls for 188.2 days and collects up to 2548mm (100.31") of precipitation.
Sea temperature
In June, the average sea temperature is 23.8°C (74.8°F).
Note: Think about diving into 23.8°C (74.8°F) waters. Factors like your sensitivity to cold, the brightness of the sun, wind conditions, and the day's warmth play a role. For reference, Olympic swimming competitions use waters between 25°C (77°F) and 28°C (82.4°F).
Daylight
The month with the longest days is June, with an average of 14h and 18min of daylight.

UV index
The months with the highest UV index are June and July, with an average maximum UV index of 11. A UV Index value of 11, and more, symbolizes an extreme health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.
Note: In June, the maximum UV index of 11 translates into these guidelines:
Carry out every crucial safety measure. People with fair skin may sustain burns in fewer than 5 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. For minimizing sun-related eye damage, always choose sunglasses with UVA and UVB coverage. For optimal sun protection, use sunscreen of no less than 30 SPF. This not only prevents sunburn but also reduces radiation damage. Heads up! The reflection of sand and water notably intensifies UV rays from the Sun.
