June weather forecast
Alachua, FL

The first month of the summer, June, is still a hot month in Alachua, Florida, with an average temperature fluctuating between 72.7°F (22.6°C) and 89.6°F (32°C).

Temperature

Alachua's shift into June sets the average high-temperature at a still tropical 89.6°F (32°C), a figure that deviates only slightly from May's 86.2°F (30.1°C). June brings Alachua a consistent average low-temperature of 72.7°F (22.6°C).

Heat index

The heat index value during June is computed to be an extremely hot 109.4°F (43°C). Keep guard: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued activity increases the risk of heatstroke.
Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. 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.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.

In June, the average relative humidity is 76%.

Avert overexposure. Light-skinned people might experience burning in less than 20 minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this time. A hat with a generous brim can prevent nearly 50% of UV rays from reaching your eyes.
