June weather forecast
Slidell, LA

June represents the official commencement of summer in Slidell, Louisiana, with temperature averages soaring up to a high of 90°F (32.2°C) while humidity remains steady at 73%. An escalated level of sunlight with 14.1 daylight hours adds to warmer climate conditions. Although June witnesses the maximum number of daylight hours for the year, it isn't devoid of rainfall. Perhaps it's the contrast between sunny daytimes and cozy rainy evenings that define the uniqueness of June's weather.

Temperature

June signals a minor shift in the average high-temperature, moving from May's warm 83.8°F (28.8°C) to a tropical 90°F (32.2°C). The nights of June anticipate an average low-temperature of 75.4°F (24.1°C).

Heat index

The heat index value during June is calculated to be an extremely hot 107.6°F (42°C). Ensure extra safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Adhere to precautions and respect sun safety doctrines. Avoiding sunburn is vital.

Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun.
