Weather in June

June is a typically hot month in Winston-Salem, with highs soaring to around 85.8°F (29.9°C). Despite the high temperatures, this month is not the wettest in terms of rainfall. With steadily increasing daylight hours and prolonged sunshine days, outdoor activities are popular during this time. However, the drop in wind speed does little to alleviate the rising summer heat. The UV index rating climbs to 6, calling for increased caution during midday outings and activities.

Heat index

In June, the heat index is appraised at a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Kids frequently ignore the importance of taking a break and rehydrating. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during long-lasting physical activities.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
