Weather in June

June in Gulf Shores, Alabama, marks the official commencement of summer. The increase in temperatures becomes significantly noticeable as June progresses. A remarkable aspect of June is its high average rainfall of approximately 1.81" (46mm), the highest since the start of the year. Despite the increased humidity, the weather is bearable enough to partake in various beach activities offered by the Gulf Shores. The constant wind at this time of the year provides some respite from the summer heat.

Temperature

June witnesses a minor rise in the average high-temperature, transitioning from 79.3°F (26.3°C) in May to a still moderately hot 85.3°F (29.6°C). Gulf Shores's nights in June maintain a consistent average of 78.6°F (25.9°C), demonstrating a minimal differential from its daytime temperature.

Heat index

The heat index in June is calculated to be a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
