June weather forecast
Agege, Nigeria

June, the first month of the summer in Agege, is still a warm month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 29.5°C (85.1°F) and 25.6°C (78.1°F).

Temperature

June's advent notes a subtle adjustment in average high-temperature to a moderately hot 29.5°C (85.1°F) from May. Agege's June nights witness minimal differential from the daytime temperatures, with averages of 25.6°C (78.1°F).

Heat index

In June, the heat index is evaluated at a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. 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 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Humidity

In June, the average relative humidity is 79%.

Rainfall

In Agege, during June, the rain falls for 21.6 days and regularly aggregates up to 129mm (5.08") of precipitation. Throughout the year, there are 193 rainfall days, and 691mm (27.2") of precipitation is accumulated.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are January through June, September through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: The maximum daily UV index of 7 in June converts into the following recommendations:
Use measures and accept sun safety conventions. Guarding against skin and eye trauma is of high priority. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun.
