June weather forecast
Southaven, MS

June welcomes summer in Southaven, with higher temperatures, longer days, and more sunshine compared to May. The abundant sunlight and increased UV index make it essential to use UV protection while outdoors. With summer in full swing, the relative humidity starts to drop slightly, providing some relief from the heat. However, the wind speed drops to its lowest, enabling warm temperatures to become prominent. June records climbing temperatures from 70.2°F (21.2°C) to 87.4°F (30.8°C), yet manages to witness 2.32" (59mm) of precipitation.

Temperature

Heat index

For June, the heat index is estimated at a fiery hot 100.4°F (38°C). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
