June marks the onset of true summertime in
Córdoba with warm temperatures and extended sunlight. Weather characteristics remain consistent with longer daylight hours, reduced humidity, and scarce rainfall. The period sees noticeable leaps in warmth, as evidenced by the month's highest temperature hitting an average peak of 32.8°C (91°F). The shift into
July sees a continuation of this weather pattern, with aggregate rainfall at meager levels and temperatures reaching new highs.
Temperature
The onset of June in Córdoba brings a temperature shift, with the average high-temperature moving from a warm 27.4°C (81.3°F) in
May to a tropical 32.8°C (91°F). Despite higher daytime temperatures, nighttime averages fall to a comfortable 16.5°C (61.7°F) in June.
Heat index
In June, the heat index is computed to be a torrid 35°C (95°F). Undertake additional safety actions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Persistent activity may induce heatstroke.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
Humans rely on perspiration as a cooling mechanism, wherein the evaporating sweat counteracts excessive warmth. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.

Emphasize protection. Neglecting it can lead to swift damage to the skin and eyes. The hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. have the most intense UV radiation. As much as possible, limit direct sun exposure during this period. Loose clothes with a tight weave are optimal for safeguarding yourself against the Sun's rays. Apply and frequently reapply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen after every two hours, or immediately after a swim or outdoor exercise.
