June weather forecast
Foley, AL

Lengthier daylight hours with a high UV index indicates a higher sun exposure. The warm climate, enriched by long sunny spells, marks this month as a perfect time for outdoor activities. The usual summer rain showers visit the city, keeping the warmth from becoming unbearable. Spectacular marine winds create a balmy condition that enhances the summer vibe.

Temperature

With the transition into June, Foley experiences a subtle uplift in average high-temperatures, adjusting from a moderately hot 81.9°F (27.7°C) in May to a hot 87.3°F (30.7°C). Throughout June, Foley encounters an average temperature drop to a moderately hot 76.6°F (24.8°C).

Heat index

The heat index value during June is estimated at a very hot 100.4°F (38°C). Implement more safety precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may happen. Persistent activity could induce heatstroke.
Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.

Sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays play a pivotal role in reducing solar eye damage.
