Temperature

June's onset brings an average high-temperature of a warm 28.9°C (84°F), showing a minute difference from May's 31°C (87.8°F). Throughout the month of June, Tapeta observes an average nighttime temperature of 20.7°C (69.3°F).

Heat index

For most parts of June, the heat index is estimated at a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). Take more preventive steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is elevated. Long activity may culminate in heatstroke.
One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. 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 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.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

Humidity

In June, the average relative humidity is 88%.

Note: The maximum daily UV index of 5 in June interprets into the following recommendations:
Take necessary precautions - Protection from skin and eye injury is mandatory. Being in direct Sun during midday can be harmful due to intense solar radiation; take precautions. To mitigate harm from sun exposure, pick sunglasses offering UVA and UVB defense.
