June weather forecast
Nugegoda, Sri Lanka

June, the first month of the summer in Nugegoda, is still a warm month, with an average temperature varying between 29.3°C (84.7°F) and 25.8°C (78.4°F).

Temperature

June ushers in an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 29.3°C (84.7°F), aligning closely with the preceding month. During June, Nugegoda perceives a slight decrease in temperature from daytime highs, settling at an average low of 25.8°C (78.4°F).

Heat index

Throughout June, the heat index is estimated at a torrid 36°C (96.8°F). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.
The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

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 value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.
Note: The maximum daily UV index of 6 in June interprets into the following recommendations:
Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure and stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is most intense, noting that not all shade structures offer full protection. On days when the sun blazes, arm yourself with sunglasses that block UVA and UVB radiation.
