By this time, rainfall is decidedly scarce, marking a definite shift from the rainy season experienced in the previous months.

However, with a downslide in humidity, the city begins to experience arid conditions indicative of the ongoing summer season.
Temperature
In Dushanbe, the average high-temperature in June rises, from a moderately hot 27°C (80.6°F) in
May, to a hot 33.1°C (91.6°F). Dushanbe anticipates a considerable cooling off from the daytime high to an average minimum temperature of 16.5°C (61.7°F) in June.
Heat index
For most parts of June, the heat index is estimated at a tropical 34°C (93.2°F). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
Humidity
In June, the average relative humidity is 42%.

Note: In June, a regular UV index of 11 translates into these guidelines:
Put into action all important safeguards, unprotected skin may burn swiftly. Remember that UV radiation from the Sun is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to limit direct sun exposure during this time. Loose clothes with a tight weave are optimal for safeguarding yourself against the Sun's rays. After every outdoor workout or swim, liberally apply and frequently reapply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen.
