June weather forecast
Southaven, MS

June welcomes summer in Southaven, with higher temperatures, longer days, and more sunshine compared to May. The abundant sunlight and increased UV index make it essential to use UV protection while outdoors. With summer in full swing, the relative humidity starts to drop slightly, providing some relief from the heat. However, the wind speed drops to its lowest, enabling warm temperatures to become prominent. June records climbing temperatures from 70.2°F (21.2°C) to 87.4°F (30.8°C), yet manages to witness 2.32" (59mm) of precipitation.

Temperature

Heat index

The heat index in June is computed to be a fiery hot 100.4°F (38°C). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.
Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise 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.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
