June weather forecast
Ban Nakhem, Laos

June is characterized by a deepening of the wet season in Ban Nakhem, with increasing precipitation and humidity. While the maximum temperature continues to drop, the residents face increased rainfall, skyrocketing to 168mm (6.61"). The conditions are slightly ameliorated by an increase in wind speed to 4km/h (2.5mph), stirring up the thick air. The cloud cover reaches 58% during this time, causing the daylight hours to dwindle. Despite these conditions, outdoor activities continue thanks to the persistent warmth and humid air.

Temperature

The start of June marks an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 29.6°C (85.3°F), hardly distinguishable from the conditions in May. During the month of June, the temperature falls to an average of 20.7°C (69.3°F).

Heat index

The heat index in June is computed to be a very hot 38°C (100.4°F). Undertake additional precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in June is 84%.

UV index

February through July, September through November, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.
Note: An average UV index of 6 in June transforms into this advice:
Beware of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals risk burning in less than 20 minutes. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun.
