Temperature
June introduces a marginal temperature uplift, with average high-temperatures adjusting from
May's moderately hot 24.5°C (76.1°F) to a still warm 27.6°C (81.7°F). An average low-temperature of 16.4°C (61.5°F) marks the nights throughout June.
Heat index
June's mean heat index is evaluated at a hot 30°C (86°F). Long-standing exposure coupled with ongoing activity could result in exhaustion, possibly causing heat cramps.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
