June sees a notable escalation in temperature as summer takes hold in
Hama. The city's weather in this month braces for the scorching summer heat, signified by the average low hiking to 17.4°C (63.3°F). The relatively lower humidity makes the high temperatures more tolerable. The days stretch longer, providing an abundance of daylight, perfect for exploring the buoyant city. Towards the end of June, Hama witnesses a drastic cut back in rainfall, signifying the core summer months taking charge.
Temperature
With the beginning of June, Hama's average high-temperature sees a minor increase, transitioning from a moderately hot 29.3°C (84.7°F) in
May to a hot 33.8°C (92.8°F). Hama witnesses a consistent, sharp contrast from the daytime highs, with an average low-temperature of 17.4°C (63.3°F) throughout June.
Heat index
During June, the heat index is evaluated at a very hot 37°C (98.6°F). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical 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 particularly relevant to children. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
Humans rely on perspiration as a cooling mechanism, wherein the evaporating sweat counteracts excessive warmth. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
