June takes center stage with typically severe climatic conditions in
Doha, exceeding the heath thresholds of
May. The weather in this month is unquestionably harsh, with daily temperatures frequently reaching their absolute peak around 41.2°C (106.2°F). The lack of rainfall aids in building up this harsh, dry atmosphere, perchance forbidding for those unacquainted with such a climate. Despite the scorching daytime conditions, the allure of the city's stunning twilight skyline remains, made more accessible by long daylight hours. Looking forward, the weather transition from June to
July will be relatively smooth, maintaining similar conditions.
Temperature
With the onset of June, Doha's average high-temperature sees a modest rise, moving from May's sweltering 38.2°C (100.8°F) to a scorching 41.2°C (106.2°F). In Doha, the nighttime temperature registers a significant drop from daytime peaks to an average of 27.7°C (81.9°F) in June.
Heat index
June's mean heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 52°C (125.6°F).
Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are quite likely. Heatstroke becomes a risk with continued exertion.
When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
Humidity
June is the least humid month, with an average relative humidity of 41%.
Rainfall
June through
September are months without rainfall.
Sea temperature

Take all required precautions, as unprotected skin and eyes can burn in minutes. Stay out of direct sunlight and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest, but remember that shade devices may not offer full sun protection. A hat with a generous brim can prevent nearly 50% of UV rays from reaching your eyes. Every two hours, apply and reapply an SPF 30+ broad-spectrum sunscreen, especially after swimming or engaging in outdoor activities. Be cautious! Sand and water surfaces make the Sun's UV rays more potent.
