Despite the heat and humidity, it is an energetic time in Meridian, heralding the heart of summer.

Temperature

June showcases a minor temperature ascent, adjusting from May's moderately hot 83.8°F (28.8°C) to a tropical 90.7°F (32.6°C). The average nighttime temperature lowers to an agreeable 69.8°F (21°C) throughout June.

Heat index

The heat index for June is estimated at a scorching 109.4°F (43°C). Remain alert: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Extended effort can lead to heatstroke.
In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

Seek shade and limit direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but be aware that not all shade structures provide complete sun protection. A wide-brim hat offers excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck. Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection significantly reduce eye damage from sun exposure.
