June weather forecast
Lakeland, FL

June in Lakeland serves as an introduction to the summer monsoon, where increased rainfall establishes its dominance. Although there may be potential bouts of increased humidity levels, the steady wind speed helps manage the overall climate. Moving towards mid-year, the environment begins to change under the influence of increasingly frequent bouts of rainfall. As the level of sunshine slightly decreases, indoor oriented activities become considerable options for residents. The patterns identified during this month lay the groundwork for July's climate.

Temperature

June records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 89.1°F (31.7°C), indicating a minor variation from the preceding month. Lakeland observes an average low-temperature of 73.9°F (23.3°C) during June nights.

Heat index

The heat index value for June is evaluated at an extremely hot 107.6°F (42°C). Take additional safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Prolonged activity may cause heatstroke.
In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in June is 77%.

Exercise precautions and adapt sun safety practices. Defence against skin and eye affliction is paramount. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Stay sun-safe with clothing that is both closely woven and worn loosely.
