Heat index

The heat index for June is estimated at a fiery hot 36°C (96.8°F). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.
It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

Note: In June, a regular UV index of 6 translates into these guidelines:
Skirt overexposure. People with light complexions might get scorched in under 20 minutes. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. A hat with a generous brim can prevent nearly 50% of UV rays from reaching your eyes.
