June weather forecast
Hambantota, Sri Lanka

The weather transformation from May to June adjusts subtly with regards to rainfall and temperatures in Hambantota. An explicit drop in the rainfall to 20mm (0.79") and a decrease in rainfall days denotes a significant drying trend. Accompanying the drying trend, there is also a minor cooling trend with a decline in average temperatures. However, an increase in wind speed breaks the monotonicity of the weather patterns. The wind speed reaches a peak at 26.4km/h (16.4mph), an increase from 21.4km/h (13.3mph) in May, hinting at a blustery touch to the weather.

Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
