June weather forecast
Lexington, SC

With the arrival of June, Lexington's weather truly becomes summer-like. The city's climate reaches an impressive high of 88.2°F (31.2°C) while maintaining a minimum of 69.8°F (21°C), and the atmosphere grows increasingly warmer. Despite the high temperatures reaching their peak, the amount of rainfall reduces, and the air pressure remains relatively low. So, while June brings intense heat, it also gifts the city with the longest daylight hours and the highest number of sunshine days.

Temperature

Lexington observes a slight uplift in the average high-temperature with the onset of June, adjusting from May's warm 80.8°F (27.1°C) to a hot 88.2°F (31.2°C). June nights in Lexington, South Carolina, are marked by an average temperature drop to a pleasant 69.8°F (21°C).

Heat index

The heat index value for June is calculated to be a torrid 100.4°F (38°C). Exercise more precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could precipitate heatstroke.
Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
