June weather forecast
Grenada, MS

June serves as the gateway to summer in Grenada, witnessing a surge in temperatures. Intensifying heat is offset by a reduction in relative humidity to 74%, ensuring the atmosphere remains bearable. The prolonged daylight, often stretching to 14.4 hours a day, offers ample opportunity for outdoor activities. Nonetheless, sporadic rain showers challenge the dominance of sunny days. June's weather pattern holds promised splendors and potential surprises, rounding off the first half of the year.

Temperature

With the onset of June, Grenada's average high-temperature experiences a slight rise, moving from May's moderately hot 81.5°F (27.5°C) to a tropical 89.2°F (31.8°C). Throughout June, the average low-temperature records at an agreeable 69.4°F (20.8°C).

Heat index

The average heat index in June is appraised at a scorching 105.8°F (41°C). Implement additional cautionary measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Prolonged activity might induce heatstroke.
In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

Humidity

In June, the average relative humidity is 74%.

Deter overexposure. Protecting against the sun's effects is essential. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure to the Sun during this period. Using UVA and UVB-protective sunglasses and sun-protective clothing is effective against UV radiation.
