June weather forecast
Woodward, OK

June's arrival marks the onset of summer, bringing with it typically high temperatures. Coinciding with the end of the school year, the weather becomes progressively warmer, making it ideal for activities at Woodward's local parks, pools, and other outdoor venues. June's daylight hours peek reaching 14.6 hours, offering longer days to enjoy summer activities. Remarkably, June exhibits the highest average high temperature of 90.5°F (32.5°C) indicating the beginning of summer's heat. Overall, June's weather is a true embodiment of what summer represents.

Temperature

June's onset brings a rise in the average high-temperature, moving from a moderately hot 78.1°F (25.6°C) in May to a tropical 90.5°F (32.5°C). Throughout June, Woodward witnesses a consistent average low-temperature of 70.2°F (21.2°C).

Heat index

June's mean heat index is calculated to be a very hot 98.6°F (37°C). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.
Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.

Humidity

In June, the average relative humidity is 55%.

Rainfall

In Woodward, in June, it is raining for 11.5 days, with typically 2.09" (53mm) of accumulated precipitation. Throughout the year, there are 107.5 rainfall days, and 18.07" (459mm) of precipitation is accumulated.

UV index

June through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.
Note: In June, a daily UV index of 7 turns into the following recommendations:
Sustain precautions and conform to sun safety norms. Preventing sunburn is necessary. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. Protect your eyes, ears, face, and neck from the Sun by wearing a wide-brimmed hat.
