Ja-Ela, Sri Lanka

June, the first month of the summer in Ja-Ela, is still a warm month, with temperature in the range of an average low of 25.9°C (78.6°F) and an average high of 29.6°C (85.3°F).

Temperature

The average high-temperature during June registers at a warm 29.6°C (85.3°F), maintaining a close resemblance to the previous month. In June, Ja-Ela's nighttime temperatures demonstrate a slight decrease, stabilizing at an average of 25.9°C (78.6°F).

Heat index

In June, the heat index is computed to be a torrid 37°C (98.6°F). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

Note: The UV index of 6 in June translates into these instructions:
Embrace precautions and observe sun safety norms. Evasion of sunburn is a necessity. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is particularly strong, noting that parasols or canopies may not offer total sun protection. To mitigate harm from sun exposure, pick sunglasses offering UVA and UVB defense.
