Heat index

June's heat index is evaluated at a torrid 35°C (95°F). More preventive actions are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is significant. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.
Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

May and June, with an average relative humidity of 55%, are the least humid months.

Note: In June, a daily UV index of 11 turns into the following recommendations:
Execute every important safeguard, as unprotected skin and eyes could burn within moments. The Sun's UV radiation is at its strongest between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Minimize direct exposure to the sun during this period. Loose clothes with a tight weave are optimal for safeguarding yourself against the Sun's rays. Use liberally and reapply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every two hours and right after outdoor activities or a swim. Beware! The reflection of water and sand dramatically increases exposure to the UV rays.
