June weather forecast
Alor Setar, Malaysia

June carries much of May's weather characteristics, although some parameters show minor improvements. As Alor Setar enters the half-point of the year, the city experiences a slight decrease in maximum temperature, rainfall, and rainfall days. At the same time, there's an increase in daylight hours and sunshine duration, hinting at the advent of sunny days. June stands as a transitional month, bearing marks of both the departing rainy period and the incoming warm season.

Temperature

June notes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 32°C (89.6°F), subtly differing from May's 32.2°C (90°F). Alor Setar's nighttime temperature in June falls to an average of 24.3°C (75.7°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in June is computed to be a blisteringly hot 44°C (111.2°F). Stay watchful: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are likely. Ongoing effort may cause heatstroke.
Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.

Humidity

In Alor Setar, the average relative humidity in June is 78%.

The months with the lowest UV index are January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.
Note: The UV index of 7 in June translates into these instructions:
Uphold preventive measures and conform to sun safety guidelines. Defending against skin and eye harm is crucial. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. Loose clothes with a tight weave are optimal for safeguarding yourself against the Sun's rays. Attention! UV strength is notably upped by the reflection of sand and water.
