June weather forecast
Pittsburg, KS

June introduces the sweltering season of summer with temperatures peaking in the mid-year months. Compared to May's kind heat, June's scorching temperatures can become intense. A consequent decline in rainfall from May's abundant levels to 2.52" (64mm) in June offers some respite to the residents. It's imperative to remain mindful of the rising UV index during daytime hours as summer hits full stride. July, in particular, presents peak summer weather conditions, exceeding June's heat levels.

Temperature

The shift from May to June in Pittsburg brings an increase in the average high-temperature, moving from 74.3°F (23.5°C) to a still moderately hot 84.9°F (29.4°C). Nighttime temperatures in June average to a comfortable 67.1°F (19.5°C) in Pittsburg.

Heat index

June's mean heat index is appraised at a torrid 95°F (35°C). Take additional safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Prolonged activity may cause heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. 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. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

Humidity

In June, the average relative humidity is 76%.

Prevent overexposure. Protection from the sun's harmful effects is needed. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. Sun-related eye harm can be minimized with proper sunglasses offering UVA and UVB coverage.
