June weather forecast
Central, LA

June brings in the full glory of summer in Central, Louisiana. With the intensity of sunshine at its peak tenure, extending up to 14.1 hours a day and a UV index of 7, this month can be quite sunny. The temperatures rise sharply, pulsating between a sultry high of 91.2°F (32.9°C) and a warm low of 72.1°F (22.3°C). Whilst the heat and humidity continue to rise, the environment adapts transforming parks and beaches into popular picnic spots. An integration into July brings more heat, high humidity, and the city starts gearing up to face the peak of summer.

Temperature

With the beginning of June, Central's average high-temperature sees a minor increase, transitioning from a moderately hot 85.5°F (29.7°C) in May to a hot 91.2°F (32.9°C). In the month of June, the temperature generally rests at an average low of 72.1°F (22.3°C).

Heat index

The heat index value during June is estimated at a burning hot 114.8°F (46°C). Remain alert: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Extended effort can lead to heatstroke.
When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.

Humidity

In Central, Louisiana, the average relative humidity in June is 76%.

UV index

May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.
Note: An average UV index of 7 in June transforms into this advice:
Deflect overexposure. Sun protection is a necessity. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Sunglasses that guard against UVA and UVB rays are pivotal in minimizing sun-induced ocular damage.
