June weather forecast
Thuwal, Saudi Arabia

June sees Thuwal entering its peak summers with temperatures soaring. The city adjusts to the heat of the desert climate with balmy evenings and air-conditioned habitats. Despite the soaring temperatures, daylight hours see only a slight uptick from the previous month. The UV Index maintains its persistently high position prompting locals and visitors to equip themselves adequately against sunburn. A notable factor in June is the lack of rainfall, paving the way for an arid, dessert landscape.

Temperature

With the onset of June, the average high-temperature in Thuwal, Saudi Arabia, stands at a very hot 36.2°C (97.2°F), closely aligned with May's 34.7°C (94.5°F). In Thuwal, an average low-temperature of 29.5°C (85.1°F) is recorded during June nights.

Heat index

For most parts of June, the heat index is computed to be a blistering 42°C (107.6°F). Incorporate additional preventive steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index in Thuwal are April through September, with an average maximum UV index of 8. A UV Index of 8 to 10 symbolizes a very high health vulnerability from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.
Note: The daily high UV index of 8 during June translates into the following recommendations:
Immediate precautions are necessary; otherwise, skin and eyes might get damaged quickly. The Sun's UV radiation is most powerful between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. To the extent possible, limit exposure to the direct sun during these hours. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays.
