Weather conditions in
June continue from
May's established pattern in
Pakse,
Laos. The highest annual precipitation is registered in this month, at a staggering 420mm (16.54"), showcasing the intensity of the monsoon season. With the soaring rainfall also comes a further drop in sunshine hours, despite the length of daylight remaining high. Furthermore, the humidity levels remain on the higher side of the scale. The prevalent UV index stays at its peak, again underlining the need for sun protection measures.
Temperature
The initiation of June records an average high-temperature of a still hot 31°C (87.8°F), displaying a near consistency with the previous month. In Pakse, the nighttime temperature averages to a moderately hot 23.9°C (75°F) during June.
Heat index
The heat index in June is appraised at a scorching 42°C (107.6°F). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Children frequently underestimate the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is vital to stay hydrated, particularly during lengthy physical exercises.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.

Note: The maximum daily UV index, 12 in June, converts into the following recommendations:
Take all required precautions, as unprotected skin and eyes can burn in minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is at its strongest between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Minimize direct exposure to the sun during this period. Sun-related eye harm can be minimized with proper sunglasses offering UVA and UVB coverage. Directly after outdoor activities or swimming, a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+ should be applied generously and reapplied frequently.
