June weather forecast
Gaza, West Bank

In June, Gaza, West Bank settles into its annual summer stint. The humidity interpolates an element of sultriness to the air even as rainfall becomes a rare event this month. Long, sunny days dominate making it conducive for all sorts of outdoor activities from sightseeing to coastal revelries. As July approaches, temperatures and humidity inch further upwards, signaling the peak of the summer season.

Temperature

Gaza's average high-temperature in June is a still warm 29.4°C (84.9°F), marking an insignificant difference from the 27.2°C (81°F) of May. June's nights observe an average temperature of 19.5°C (67.1°F).

Heat index

During June, the heat index is calculated to be a fiery hot 38°C (100.4°F). Incorporate special precautions, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is substantial. Sustained activity could cause heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
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. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

The months with the highest humidity are June and August, with an average relative humidity of 87%.

Undertake every vital safety procedure, as unprotected skin and eyes could sustain burns in no time. Avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide full protection. A hat with a generous brim can prevent nearly 50% of UV rays from reaching your eyes. Broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or more should be applied liberally every two hours and directly after outdoor activities or swimming. Stay vigilant! UV rays get a boost in intensity due to sand and water reflections.
