June weather forecast
Neelammahara, Sri Lanka

June, the first month of the summer in Neelammahara, is still a warm month, with an average temperature varying between 29.2°C (84.6°F) and 26.1°C (79°F).

Temperature

June welcomes an average high-temperature of a warm 29.2°C (84.6°F), not much different from the preceding month. Neelammahara's June nights experience a subtle temperature dip to an average of 26.1°C (79°F).

Heat index

In June, the heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 36°C (96.8°F). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

UV index

The months with the lowest UV index are May, June, August and October, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: The maximum daily UV index of 6 in June interprets into the following recommendations:
Skirt overexposure. People with light complexions might get scorched in under 20 minutes. 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. For excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck, consider a wide-brim hat.
