Rainy days become more frequent, although it comes with some cloud cover. Temperature soars high, steering clear of 38.2°C (100.8°F), ushering in hotter days. However, wind conditions remain stable, aiding in the distribution of atmospheric humidity.

Temperature

The beginning of June records an average high-temperature of a fiery hot 38.2°C (100.8°F), marking a negligible difference from May's 40.3°C (104.5°F). In June, Boulsa experiences a temperature dip to an average of 27.8°C (82°F) at night.

Heat index

June's average heat index is estimated at a life-threatening hot 45°C (113°F). Stay mindful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke could follow extended physical effort.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of 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. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

Humidity

In June, the average relative humidity is 42%.

Note: The UV index of 8 in June translates into these instructions:
Stay protected; otherwise, skin and eyes can suffer rapid damage. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. Sun protection is enhanced with clothing that boasts a tight weave yet offers a loose fit.
