June depicts Diyarbakir's step into summer with much warmer temperatures. It is a clear shift from the pleasant weather conditions of
May. Thermometer readings climb significantly, with temperatures soaring from 17°C (62.6°F) during the nights to highs of 33.7°C (92.7°F) in the daytime. The longer sunshine hours speak of summer with the city's blazing sun and very minimal rainy days. June's weather sets the stage for the peak summer heat that follows in
July.
Temperature
Noticing a change, the average high-temperature in
Diyarbakır during June moves from May's warm 26.5°C (79.7°F) to a tropical 33.7°C (92.7°F). Diyarbakır, after hot June days, encounters a marked drop to an average nighttime temperature of 17°C (62.6°F).
Heat index
June's mean heat index is computed to be a fiery hot 36°C (96.8°F). Heightened safety actions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may lead to heatstroke.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. 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 quite important for children. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
Perspiring is a crucial mechanism for the human body, allowing it to release excessive warmth through evaporating sweat. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
Humidity
In June, the average relative humidity is 43%.

Note: A typical high UV index of 10 in June suggests the following recommendations:
Take special precautions, as unprotected skin can be damaged and can burn quickly. 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. Using UVA and UVB-protective sunglasses and sun-protective clothing is effective against UV radiation. A broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30+ should be used liberally and reapplied every two hours or post an outdoor workout or swim.
