Shifting gears from a strong summer spell,
June brings a refreshing change with the onset of the monsoon season. The rainfall volume surges to 104mm (4.09") from
May's 36mm (1.42"), and this substantial rise sets June apart as the start of the monsoon period. Cloud cover accompanied by increased humidity curtails the intense summer heat. The close of June sets the stage for
July, which unveils enhanced rainfall and a reciprocating drop in heat.
Temperature
A mild drop in
Hyderabad's average high-temperature is observed in June, transitioning from a torrid 39°C (102.2°F) in May to a hot 34.5°C (94.1°F). Throughout June, Hyderabad records an average temperature of 24°C (75.2°F) at night.
Heat index
June's average heat index is estimated at an extremely hot 44°C (111.2°F).
Careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. With ongoing exertion, heatstroke becomes a possibility.
It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. 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 highly important for children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
Humidity
The average relative humidity in June is 61%.

UV index
March through
September, with an average maximum UV index of 12, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 11, and higher, represents an excessive health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.
Note: The maximum daily UV index, 12 in June, converts into the following recommendations:
Employ every crucial safety step. Those with fair skin could experience burns in a matter of minutes. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun's UV radiation is at its peak. Limit your exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. Outfit yourself in sun-safe attire, like long sleeves, pants, a hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses. Even if it's cloudy, generously apply and frequently reapply a sunscreen with no less than a 30 sun protection factor after each swim or outdoor exercise.
