June in Orodara sets its mark amid the rainy season with sustained high levels of rainfall and reduced sunshine. Averaging around 48mm (1.89") of rainfall, June prominently displays the traits of a tropical monsoon climate. The season causes alterations in the atmospheric pressure, leading to mean pressures of 1011.7mb, while maintaining cooler temperatures. The duration of daylight subtly decreases from May's pattern, signifying shorter days. Though June brings more torrential downpours, the weather doesn't stop evolving, bringing even greater weather variations in July.

Temperature

June's onset records a minor alteration in the average high-temperature to a still fiery hot 35.6°C (96.1°F) from May's 37.5°C (99.5°F). Orodara witnesses a consistent average low-temperature of 24°C (75.2°F) throughout June.

Heat index

For most parts of June, the heat index is estimated at a burning hot 47°C (116.6°F). On guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a potential hazard with continuous physical effort.
Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. When the body's heat gain surpasses its removal capacity, body temperature starts to climb, leading to potential heat-related ailments.

Uphold preventive measures and conform to sun safety guidelines. Defending against skin and eye harm is crucial. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is particularly strong, noting that parasols or canopies may not offer total sun protection. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
