June weather forecast
Uige, Angola

June marks the onset of the arid phase in Uige, Angola. With only 5mm (0.2") of precipitation across a scant four days, the month is notably dry. The high temperature barely touches 30.4°C (86.7°F) but the decreased humidity of 64% and a daytime average of 7.6 hours of sunshine allow for relatively comfortable conditions. Despite the lower cloud cover and higher visibility, accentuated by wind gusts reaching up to 9.7km/h (6mph), this month offers a perfect glimpse of the dry season.

Temperature

The start of June sees the average high-temperature at a tropical 30.4°C (86.7°F), showing little difference from May's 29.2°C (84.6°F). Uige's average low-temperature of 16.3°C (61.3°F) in June reflects a considerable decline from the daytime peak.

Heat index

In June, the heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 35°C (95°F). Take additional safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Prolonged activity may cause heatstroke.
Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important 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.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in June is 64%.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are April through September, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: In June, the average maximum UV index of 6 translates into the following recommendations:
Persist in precautions and follow sun safety policies. Keeping sunburn at bay is imperative. 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. Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun.
