Notable variability in the climatic conditions in
Yap is apparent in
June. The average rainfall increases considerably to 322mm (12.68"), making it one of the wettest months. Besides, June's humidity level increases, suggesting the overall dampness of the island. However, the increase in precipitation hardly affects the temperature range, which remains warm, comparable to previous months. June's weather showcases a tropical phenomenon, where abundant sunshine coexists with recurrent showers, thereby highlighting Yap's unique climatic disposition.
Temperature
As Yap steps into June, the average high-temperature holds at a still tropical 30.7°C (87.3°F), hinting at a minor fluctuation from the prior month. Yap experiences an average low-temperature of 23.6°C (74.5°F) in the month of June.
Heat index
For June, the heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 41°C (105.8°F). Incorporate extra safety measures to avoid heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Continuous activity could provoke heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
Humidity
In Yap, the average relative humidity in June is 83%.

UV index
The months with the highest UV index are
February through
October, with an average maximum UV index of 12. A UV Index of 11, and more, symbolizes an excessive health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.
Note: The maximum UV index of 12 during June leads to these instructions:
Put into action all crucial precautions. Defense against sun damage is a must. The Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. Select sunglasses that boast both UVA and UVB protection to limit the adverse effects of the sun on the eyes. Broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or more should be applied liberally every two hours and directly after outdoor activities or swimming. Warning! Sand and water reflections boost the intensity of UV exposure.
