Temperature

The onset of June brings with it an average high-temperature of a still hot 31°C (87.8°F), showing a negligible variation from the month before. During the month of June, the temperature generally drops to a low average of 22.8°C (73°F).

Heat index

The heat index in June is calculated to be a very hot 39°C (102.2°F). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.
Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
Perspiring is a crucial mechanism for the human body, allowing it to release excessive warmth through evaporating sweat. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.

Take precautions against overexposure. Fair-skinned people may get burned in less 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. Stay sun-safe with clothing that is both closely woven and worn loosely.
