Heat index

Throughout June, the heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 46°C (114.8°F). Beware: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are on the cards. Heatstroke could result from sustained physical activity.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

In June, the average relative humidity is 61%.

Note: The daily high UV index of 7 during June translates into the following recommendations:
Prevent overexposure. Protection from the sun's harmful effects is needed. 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. It's wise to wear UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses when the sun shines brightly.
