June weather forecast
Punto Fijo, Venezuela

June presents the most balanced weather spectrum in Punto Fijo with near-ideal conditions. A slight rise in the maximum temperature from May heralds the arrival of the city's summer. An emphasis on the rainfall cycle in June results in relatively lower precipitation amounts and rain days. The city witnesses maximum daylight hours during this month which also contributes to maximizing outdoor activities. However, near-peak UV indices suggest practicing caution during prolonged sun exposure.

Temperature

The onset of June marks an average high-temperature of a still hot 31°C (87.8°F), hardly differing from May's 30.6°C (87.1°F). Punto Fijo's nocturnal readings in June exhibit minimal variation from the daytime temperatures, averaging at a moderately hot 27.2°C (81°F).

Heat index

June's heat index is estimated at a very hot 39°C (102.2°F). Ensure heightened precautions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Sustained activity could provoke heatstroke.
Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in June is 73%.

Rainfall

UV index

January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the lowest UV index. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.
Note: The maximum UV index, 7 during June, leads to the following recommendations:
Ward off overexposure. Defence against solar harm is crucial. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure to the Sun during this period. On sunny days, it's ideal to wear sunglasses that filter out UVA and UVB rays. Caution! The Sun's UV intensity grows with reflections off sand and water.
