Heat index
The heat index for June is calculated to be a hot 32°C (89.6°F). If activity and exposure persist, they could induce fatigue, leading to possible heat cramps.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.

Skin and eyes are vulnerable without protection. Ensure you always take precautions. Avoid exposure to the Sun and try to stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent, but be aware that parasols or canopies may not offer full protection. Sun-related eye harm can be minimized with proper sunglasses offering UVA and UVB coverage. After a swim or an outdoor workout, generously apply and reapply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen. Take heed! Reflections of sand and water make the Sun's UV rays stronger.
