June weather forecast
Burlington, NC

June greets Burlington citizens with the promise of longest daylight hours crossing over the 14 hour mark. The upward climb of temperature persists as the city delves deeper into the summer season. Burlington witnesses an avid play between wind speed reaching 5.5mph (8.9km/h) and the sun. Rainfall lowers to 2.8" (71mm), approving open-air outings for residents. As June bids goodbye, July walks in bearing the peak of summer’s heat.

Temperature

June's arrival in Burlington signals a modest temperature shift, moving from a warm 78.1°F (25.6°C) in May to a still moderately hot 85.8°F (29.9°C). Burlington experiences an average low-temperature of 64.9°F (18.3°C) in month of June.

Heat index

June's mean heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.

Note: In June, the maximum UV index of 6 translates into these guidelines:
Sidestep overexposure. Individuals with fair complexions risk burning in fewer than 20 minutes. Limit direct sun exposure especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
