Temperature
The shift from
May to June sees a slight increase in the average high-temperature, transitioning from a moderately hot 24.7°C (76.5°F) to a still warm 28.7°C (83.7°F). During the nights in June, Alanya experiences a consistent average temperature of 20.5°C (68.9°F).
Heat index
June's mean heat index is calculated to be a tropical 31°C (87.8°F). If one remains active during constant exposure, it might cause exhaustion and heat cramps.
Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.

Note: The daily high UV index of 10 during June translates into the following recommendations:
Be proactive in protecting yourself; skin and eyes can be harmed if left unprotected. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Using UVA and UVB-protective sunglasses and sun-protective clothing is effective against UV radiation. 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. Watch out! Reflections from sand and water can surge UV radiation exposure.
