June weather forecast
Whiteville, NC

June falls squarely within the summer season, and experiences in Whiteville are a reflection of quintessential summery weather. There's a significant increase in the average temperature reaching 85.6°F (29.8°C), and the city experiences the sunniest period of the year lasting up to 10.6 hours per day. Rare snowfall and longer, warmer days characterize summer in the city; however, the presence of increased rainfall signals the start of a wetter period. Despite this, the weather patterns do not greatly affect the mostly pleasant conditions experienced during this month. The increased humidity causes the air to feel heavier, hinting at the likelihood of an intense summer season.

Temperature

June's onset brings a subtle temperature rise, moving from a moderately hot 79.2°F (26.2°C) in May to a still warm 85.6°F (29.8°C). Whiteville reports an average low-temperature of 69.3°F (20.7°C) during the nights of June.

Heat index

The average heat index in June is computed to be a torrid 98.6°F (37°C). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. 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 'feels like', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

The months with the highest humidity are May, June, August and September, with an average relative humidity of 79%.

Skirt overexposure. People with light complexions might get scorched in under 20 minutes. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, and note that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer full sun protection. On days when the sun blazes, arm yourself with sunglasses that block UVA and UVB radiation.
