Temperature

Central's weather in June shows a minor rise in the average high-temperature, moving slightly up from May's moderately hot 85.5°F (29.7°C) to a hot 91.2°F (32.9°C). Throughout June, Central records an average temperature of 72.1°F (22.3°C) at night.

Heat index

June's average heat index is estimated at a burning hot 114.8°F (46°C). Vigilance: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. The likelihood of heatstroke increases with continued activity.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. 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. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.

Endorse precautions and be consistent with sun safety guidelines. Preventing sunburn is paramount. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is at its strongest, and remember that parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Consider a wide-brim hat essential for effective sun defense covering your face, neck, and eyes.
