June signals a transition phase in
Nagpur's weather bringing the onset of the monsoon season. From scorching summer days, the city experiences a dramatic drop in temperature providing a respite from the gruelling heat. The cooling effect is noticeable from the decrease in the average high temperature from 42.4°C (108.3°F) in
May to 37.5°C (99.5°F) in June. The cloud cover increases, and the city receives the much-awaited significant rainfall. The monsoon begins to set itself in, governing the weather characteristics in June.
Temperature
June is characterized by a slight reduction in average high-temperature, easing from an extremely hot 42.4°C (108.3°F) in May to a fiery hot 37.5°C (99.5°F). June's nights observe an average temperature of 26.3°C (79.3°F).
Heat index
In June, the average heat index is estimated at a life-threatening hot 50°C (122°F).
Be cautious: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a possible consequence of continuous physical effort.
Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
