June weather forecast
Kenner, LA

The month of June in Kenner is characterized by true summer traits. Substantially warmer weather envelops the city with an average high temperature of 88.2°F (31.2°C). However, temperatures are often felt more severely due to increased humidity levels. Additionally, it signals the peak of the rainy season with an increased average rainfall of 4.41" (112mm) covering most of the month. Despite the peak of moisture, it is rich with long daylight hours, making it an ideal time for sun-lovers and outdoor enthusiasts to seize the morning and early afternoon hours.

Temperature

The onset of June notes an average high-temperature of a tropical 88.2°F (31.2°C), subtly shifted from May's 82.9°F (28.3°C). Kenner records an average temperature drop to a moderately hot 76.5°F (24.7°C) in June.

Heat index

The average heat index in June is estimated at a blisteringly hot 104°F (40°C). Greater safety measures are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Continuous activity might trigger heatstroke.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

Dodge overexposure. Fair-skinned people can get singed in less than 20 minutes. Limit your exposure to the sun's UV radiation, which is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and note that parasols or canopies may not provide full sun protection. Sunglasses that guard against UVA and UVB rays are pivotal in minimizing sun-induced ocular damage.
