June weather forecast
Hays, KS

June ushers in summer with a consistent increase in temperature in Hays, Kansas. The sun shines brightly for longer duration, enhancing the visibility across the city. Cloud cover starts to decrease, resulting in a decrease in rainfall in comparison to May. As winds blow gently, the pressure tends to slightly fall, allowing the heat to prevail. In July, the weather intensifies, reaching its peak heat for the year.

Heat index

The heat index in June is computed to be a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
