June in
Chiang Rai brings a retreat from the sweltering heat of
May, as the city enters the monsoon period. The scale of rainfall goes up to 178mm (7.01"), adding to the city’s verdant appeal. As compared to previous months, sunshine hours lessen, adding a cool temper to the month. Despite the increase in humidity, the rainfall cools down the temperature and it’s a welcome change for residents and visitors alike. For people interested in the rainy season and its charm, June presents a good time to visit Chiang Rai.
Temperature
With the onset of June, Chiang Rai's average high-temperature clocks in at a still hot 32.1°C (89.8°F), showing a minor fluctuation from the previous month. In the month of June, an average of 23.6°C (74.5°F) marks the low-temperature.
Heat index
Throughout June, the heat index is computed to be a life-threatening hot 45°C (113°F).
Guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are foreseeable. Prolonged effort may bring about heatstroke.
In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight 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 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. 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.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.

Carry out every crucial safety measure. People with fair skin may sustain burns in fewer than 5 minutes. Seek shade and limit direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but be aware that not all shade structures provide complete sun protection. For excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck, consider a wide-brim hat. Even on a cloudy day, sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30 should be used liberally and reapplied often, especially after a swim or outdoor activity.
