Temperature

June proves to be the warmest month, recording an average peak temperature of 33°C (91.4°F) and a minimum temperature of 26.3°C (79.3°F).

Heat index

The heat index in June is appraised at an extremely hot 43°C (109.4°F). Mindful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are to be expected. Extended physical effort might result in heatstroke.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.

UV index

January through October, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: The maximum daily UV index of 7 in June interprets into the following recommendations:
Persist with safeguards and heed sun safety doctrines. Keeping sunburn at bay is of prime importance. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat.
