June paints a picture of a gradual easing from May's extreme wetter conditions in Paidha, Uganda. Although the rainfall lessens slightly to 71mm (2.8") from May's 68mm (2.68"), the number of rainy days decreases, indicating a more evenly distributed precipitation. Meanwhile, sunshine hours stabilize, and cloud cover plateaus, reducing the likelihood of sudden weather changes. Relative humidity remains high, ensuring a moist atmosphere, while wind speeds decline, marking the end of the windier season. Despite the ongoing rainfall, visibility remains considerably high, promoting outdoor activities.

Temperature

With average temperatures fluctuating between a high of 29.6°C (85.3°F) and a low of 19.2°C (66.6°F), June stands out as the coldest month.

Heat index

The heat index value during June is estimated at a very hot 35°C (95°F). Ensure additional precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Children frequently underestimate the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is vital to stay hydrated, particularly during lengthy physical exercises.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

UV index

April through November, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the lowest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: A maximum high daily UV index of 6 during June translates into the following directions:
Skirt overexposure. People with light complexions might get scorched in under 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure and stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is most intense, noting that not all shade structures offer full protection. For holistic sun protection encompassing the eyes, ears, face, and neck, a wide-brim hat is key.
