Heat index

The average heat index in June is evaluated at a torrid 95°F (35°C). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in June is 74%.

Note: In June, the maximum UV index of 7 suggests these recommendations:
Shield from overexposure. Defense against sun-related harm is required. Seek shade and limit direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but be aware that not all shade structures provide complete sun protection. Shield yourself from the harmful effects of UV radiation with sun-protective attire, a hat, and quality sunglasses. Stay alert! Reflective properties of sand and water amplify the Sun's UV radiation.
