June weather forecast
Couva, Trinidad and Tobago

June acts as the curtain raiser to a noticeable leap in the rainfall parameters, trading off a bit of the clear blue skies from May. With clouds hovering more frequently, 63mm (2.48") of precipitation graces the landscapes of Couva. The wind speed, however, drops slightly, and the levels of humidity climb up a notch. Yet, the combination of increased rainfall and uniform flow of wind seems to maintain equilibrium in climatic conditions and manage the temperature within agreeable limits.

Temperature

Couva's shift from May to June is accompanied by an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29.7°C (85.5°F), a slight deviation from 29.8°C (85.6°F). Couva logs an average low-temperature of 26°C (78.8°F) during the nights of June, subtly lower than its daytime highs.

Heat index

The heat index value during June is computed to be a torrid 36°C (96.8°F). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in June is 77%.

January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the lowest UV index in Couva. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: The maximum daily UV index of 7 in June interprets into the following recommendations:
Deter overexposure. Protecting against the sun's effects is essential. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Limit sun-induced ocular harm with sunglasses that feature UVA and UVB filtration.
