June weather forecast
Wichita, KS

June welcomes the peak of summer in Wichita. It's a significant shift from the temperate conditions experienced in May to the scorching summer heat. More daylight hours bring with them higher UV index levels, necessitating the use of appropriate sun protection. The increase in temperature is paralleled by a surge in relative humidity, giving way to warm and humid weather. The high temperature in June scales up to a peak of 89.1°F (31.7°C), recording the highest for the year.

Temperature

June sees a temperature increase, moving from a moderately hot 75.4°F (24.1°C) in May to a hot 89.1°F (31.7°C). Wichita's temperature drops to an average low of 69.6°F (20.9°C) during the nights of June.

Heat index

Throughout June, the heat index is estimated at a sweltering 100.4°F (38°C). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Enforce precautions and stick to sun safety measures. Preservation from skin and eye damage is essential.

A wide-brimmed hat provides unparalleled sun protection for sensitive areas like the eyes, ears, and neck.
