June weather forecast
Selma, AL

June is the commencement of summer in Selma, with the mercury hitting a peak of 91°F (32.8°C). The city experiences a surge in rainfall, with a total of 3.43" (87mm) of rain distributed over 17.7 days. High humidity and increased daylight hours create distinct summer atmosphere. These conditions combined with increased UV index of 7, warrants the use of sun protection. Wind speeds begin to taper off, providing less relief from the increasing heat.

Temperature

The arrival of June introduces a minor uplift in high-temperatures, adjusting from a moderately hot 84°F (28.9°C) in May to a hot 91°F (32.8°C). Selma's average low-temperature in the month of June is recorded at a pleasant 69.8°F (21°C).

Heat index

June's heat index is appraised at an extremely hot 111.2°F (44°C). Be on the lookout: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Continued exertion can result in heatstroke.
Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. 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. 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 largely significant for babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.

Note: The UV index of 7 during June leads to these advisories:
Take precautions and adopt sun safety practices. Protection against sunburn is obliged. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the period of highest UV radiation. Remember, however, that not all shade structures offer full protection. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
