June signifies an important shift in the
Allahabad weather narrative, from blistering heat to the onset of muggy monsoon conditions. The disparity in weather reveals itself through lower temperatures and higher humidity. A welcome respite from the sun is seen with rainfall shooting up to an average of 127mm (5"). This starts reshaping the previously arid scenery into a lush, transformed terrain. Thus, the closing of June indicates the beginning of the wet season.
Temperature
As Allahabad welcomes June, the average high-temperature stabilizes at a fiery hot 39.6°C (103.3°F), showing little deviation from
May's 41.6°C (106.9°F). June is noted for a mean low-temperature of 28°C (82.4°F).
Heat index
June's average heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 53°C (127.4°F).
Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are quite likely. Heatstroke becomes a risk with continued exertion.
Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
