June weather forecast
Metapan, El Salvador

Metapan witnesses a transitional phase in its weather pattern during June. Rainfall inches downward from its May peak, easing into the city's typical monsoon climate. Despite the slight dip in temperature, it still looms on the higher side, ensuring the warmth synonymous with tropical weather. The combination of warm temperatures and recurrent showers contributes to the high humidity. On the brighter side, a slight increase in sunshine days offers respite from the rains.

Temperature

June begins with an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 29.2°C (84.6°F), reflecting close similarity to the preceding month. Metapan records an average low-temperature of 19.6°C (67.3°F) throughout the month of June.

Heat index

June's average heat index is calculated to be a torrid 36°C (96.8°F). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are quite important for children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
