June signals a much-awaited break from
Ahmedabad's heat, introducing the crucial monsoon period. A major shift can be identified as a dramatic surge in rainfall takes the city from 7mm (0.28") in
May right up to a substantial 80mm (3.15") in June. The days remain hot but the nights become bearably cooler at 27.5°C (81.5°F), bringing some respite. The weather becomes unpredictable with downpours altering the outdoor plans. It's a great month for indoor activities and relishing in the sweet aftermath of rain showers.
Temperature
As May transitions into June, the average high-temperature rests at a sweltering 38.8°C (101.8°F), maintaining a close resemblance to the previous month. Throughout the June nights, Ahmedabad encounters a low-temperature of 27.5°C (81.5°F).
Heat index
June's average heat index is estimated at a blazing hot 59°C (138.2°F).
Warning: These weather conditions are evaluated as greatly hazardous, and heatstroke is at hand.
Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.

Note: A daily high UV index of 12 in June leads to these guidelines:
Utilize all vital precautions. Guarding against sun harm is non-negotiable. Stay in the shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest. Remember, however, that not all shade structures provide full sun protection. Select sunglasses that boast both UVA and UVB protection to limit the adverse effects of the sun on the eyes. A sunscreen boasting a minimum SPF of 30 should be generously applied and reapplied even on cloudy days, post swim or outdoor exercise.
