June weather forecast
Divulapitiya, Sri Lanka

June brings about the highest rainfall levels in Divulapitiya with 231mm (9.09"), setting the stage for the peak monsoon season. Despite the considerable amount of rainfall, it does not notably impact the overall temperature, maintaining a relatively stable range. The increased rainfall, high humidity, and frequent winds define June's weather. Tropical thunderstorms are a common sight during this period, offering a dramatic weather spectacle that is unique to tropical climates. As the weather gradually shifts, it marks the emergence of new weather patterns, ushering in the latter half of the year.

Temperature

Divulapitiya's June showcases an average high-temperature of a warm 29.6°C (85.3°F), hardly distinct from May's 30.8°C (87.4°F). The low temperature average during June reflects a slight decrease to a still moderately hot 25.9°C (78.6°F) from the day's peak.

Heat index

The heat index value during June is computed to be a very hot 37°C (98.6°F). Ensure additional precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.

Avert overexposure. Light-skinned people might experience burning in less than 20 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. Select sunglasses that boast both UVA and UVB protection to limit the adverse effects of the sun on the eyes.
