June provides a full-fledged sample of the upcoming summer with an average high of 28.6°C (83.5°F), exhibiting a significant temperature uplift from
May. This change is a harbinger of the warmest phase of the year that lies ahead. The onset of monsoons is clear, with a sharp increase calling for more frequent use of rain gear. Daylight hours show a marginal uptick, providing additional time for outdoor activities. But with the arrival of
July, one is exposed to the highest temperatures and humidity levels in
Taiyuan's calendar year.
Temperature
June signals a minor shift in the average high-temperature, moving from May's moderately hot 25.5°C (77.9°F) to a still warm 28.6°C (83.5°F). In June, the nighttime temperature plummets remarkably from the daily apex to a steady average of 15.1°C (59.2°F).
Heat index
The heat index for June is estimated at a tropical 31°C (87.8°F). Enduring exposure and continuous activity might cause a feeling of tiredness and induce heat cramps.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.

Always stay safe. Unprotected skin and eyes can get damaged rapidly. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. For minimizing sun-related eye damage, always choose sunglasses with UVA and UVB coverage. Spending extended time in direct sunlight isn’t recommended, especially if you sunburn easily. Make sure to apply a 30 SPF sunscreen.
