June holds reign as the hottest month in
Aden,
Yemen, with soaring temperatures reaching a maximum of 36.6°C (97.9°F). Although it might be hot, the possibilities of rain showers remain slim, increasing parched earth's prominence. Coupled with the highest sea temperature and longest daylight hours, June pioneers the peak of summer. A significant drop in relative humidity marks a sharp transition from the previous months. Essentially, this time can be considered a celebration of sun-soaked days and balmy nights.
Temperature
June is the warmest month in Aden, exhibiting average temperatures of 36.6°C (97.9°F) at the peak and 28.8°C (83.8°F) at the base.
Heat index
For June, the heat index is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 54°C (129.2°F).
Heed: Expect heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continued action may cause heatstroke.
Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

UV index
February through
September, with an average maximum UV index of 12, are months with the highest UV index in Aden. A UV Index estimate of 11, and higher, represents an extreme threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the average person.
Note: A typical high UV index of 12 in June suggests the following recommendations:
Take every essential safety procedure. Individuals with fair skin could sustain burns in less than 5 minutes. UV radiation from the sun is at its strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure during these hours. In bright sunlight, prioritize sunglasses that grant protection from UVA and UVB radiation. Every two hours, apply and reapply an SPF 30+ broad-spectrum sunscreen, especially after swimming or engaging in outdoor activities. Heed this! UV intensity is much stronger when reflected off sand and water.
