June weather forecast
Houma, LA

June, arriving in Houma, ushers in the summer season, in its full glory, with the mercury soaring up to 88.3°F (31.3°C). The longer sunshine hours make the days hotter, but the wind speed falls slightly, offering a slight respite from the heat. Despite being the precipitation peak of the year, the rain brings little to no relief from the sweltering heat. Clear visibility and extensive daylight hours provide ample opportunities for exploration and outdoor activities. The city remains abuzz with summer activities, brimming with energy and warmth.

Temperature

In June, Houma notes an average high-temperature of a tropical 88.3°F (31.3°C), hardly different from the preceding month. In June, Houma experiences a temperature dip to an average of 75°F (23.9°C) at night.

Heat index

June's mean heat index is computed to be a blistering 104°F (40°C). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.

The average relative humidity in June is 76%.

Inhibit overexposure. Warding off sun damage is of utmost importance. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest, limit direct exposure to the Sun and note that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
