June weather forecast
Edisto Beach, SC

June marks the official beginning of summer in Edisto Beach. With the highest daylight hours of 14.3 hours, there is ample time for beach activities, exploring the town, and basking in the sun. Owing to the increased heat, the humidity becomes more prevalent, and summer squalls are not uncommon. The jump in temperature is evident, with the average high reaching sweltering 87.4°F (30.8°C).

Temperature

With the onset of June, Edisto Beach's average high-temperature experiences a slight rise, moving from May's warm 81.1°F (27.3°C) to a tropical 87.4°F (30.8°C). June witnesses an average low-temperature hovering around a moderately hot 73.4°F (23°C).

Heat index

The heat index value for June is computed to be a fiery hot 102.2°F (39°C). Ensure extra safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant 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 human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the 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. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in June is 75%.

Take precautions against overexposure. Fair-skinned people may get burned in less than 20 minutes. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, but remember that shade structures may not offer complete protection. A hat with a generous brim can prevent nearly 50% of UV rays from reaching your eyes.
