The wet May weather makes way for a drier atmosphere, contributing to the decreased levels of relative humidity. This month showcases the longest daylight hours with the sun shining brightly for nearly half the day. Between the plentiful sunshine, gentle breezes and an average rainfall lower than that of May, June presents itself with typically summer weather characteristics.

With the onset of June, Bethany sees a temperature rise, with the average high-temperature moving from May's warm 77.9°F (25.5°C) to a tropical 89.1°F (31.7°C). Bethany reports an average low-temperature of 70.3°F (21.3°C) during the nights of June.

Heat index

June's heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 102.2°F (39°C). Exercise enhanced safety steps, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke could be a result of sustained activity.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. 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 extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
Humans rely on perspiration as a cooling mechanism, wherein the evaporating sweat counteracts excessive warmth. 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. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
