Relief from rainfall scales back to a minimal 6mm (0.24"), along with a minor reduction in relative humidity to 50%. Adequate sunshine of 12.2 hours, paired with the longest daylight duration of 13.1 hours, adds further to the atmospheric warmth. However, wind conditions stage a resurgence, yet offering meager respite from the overarching heat.

Temperature

The warmest period in Shibam is June, when temperatures fluctuate between an average high of 35.7°C (96.3°F) and a low of 28.1°C (82.6°F).

Heat index

In June, the heat index is appraised at an extremely hot 42°C (107.6°F). Heightened safety actions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may lead to heatstroke.
One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

Note: The maximum daily UV index of 8 in June interprets into the following recommendations:
Don't neglect protection; skin and eyes can be burned swiftly if left exposed. 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. To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat.
