June weather forecast
New Iberia, LA

Mid-year in New Iberia arrives with the height of summer, characterised by the longest days. Temperature scales continue to tip, and the UV index jumps to 7 making it necessary to take protective measures. City dwellers feel a slight dip in wind speed, tapering down to 6.2mph (10km/h). June receives the heaviest rainfall of the year, recording 1.57" (40mm), bringing some respite from the heat. However, the sweltering conditions linger with high humidity levels maintained throughout.

Temperature

The shift into June uncovers an average high-temperature of a tropical 89.1°F (31.7°C), subtly different from the previous month. During June, the average low-temperature is a warm 73.6°F (23.1°C).

Heat index

In June, the average heat index is calculated to be an extremely hot 107.6°F (42°C). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.
Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

Inhibit overexposure. Warding off sun damage is of utmost importance. To the best of your ability, limit your exposure to the sun between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Safeguard your eyes, ears, and face from sun rays with the aid of a wide-brim hat.
