Summer set in full swing marks
June's weather in
Taipei. Soaring temperature averages of 32°C (89.6°F) high and 24.6°C (76.3°F) low shed light upon the discernible heat when stacked against
May. With a substantial leap, rainfall reaches a record high in millimeters, although the number of rainy days remains the same as May. Outdoor endeavors find encouragement in the steadily stretching daylight hours. However, with an unwavering UV index at 12, shadowed spots and sun protection become sought-after commodities.
Temperature
The onset of June in Taipei,
Taiwan, brings with it an average high-temperature of a hot 32°C (89.6°F), showing a negligible variation from the month before. During June, the nighttime temperature in Taipei averages to a moderately hot 24.6°C (76.3°F).
Heat index
During June, the heat index is estimated at a scorching 43°C (109.4°F).
Be wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are highly anticipated. With continued activity, heatstroke is very likely.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
Perspiring is a crucial mechanism for the human body, allowing it to release excessive warmth through evaporating sweat. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
Humidity
In June, the average relative humidity in Taipei is 77.3%.
Rainfall
In Taipei, in June, it is raining for 15.5 days, with typically 326mm (12.83") of accumulated precipitation. In Taipei, during the entire year, the rain falls for 165.5 days and collects up to 2405mm (94.69") of precipitation.

UV index

August, with an average maximum UV index of 12. A UV Index estimate of 11, and higher, represents an extreme threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.
Note: The maximum daily UV index of 12 in June converts into the following recommendations:
Carry out all important precautions, unprotected skin could get burns in no time. UV radiation from the sun is at its strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure during these hours. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage. Despite the cloud cover, sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 should be generously applied and reapplied, particularly after a swim or an outdoor workout.
