Weather in June

Solstice month June welcomes the hottest days of summer in West Columbia, departing significantly from the mildness of May. The sun takes center stage, painting the city with vibrant summer hues for 14.4 hours daily. It’s worth noting that wind activity remarkably lessens, becoming the least breezy month of the year. The lower cloud cover percentage enhances visibility, fringing the cityscape with radiant lucidity. Despite the summer heat, the rainfall maintains its moderate tone.

Temperature

The onset of June marks a slight increase in the average high-temperature, moving from a moderately hot 81°F (27.2°C) in May to a hot 88.3°F (31.3°C). During June nights, West Columbia records an average temperature of 70.3°F (21.3°C).

Heat index

June's mean heat index is estimated at a torrid 102.2°F (39°C). Implement more safety precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may happen. Persistent activity could induce heatstroke.
Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. When relative humidity is heightened, it slows the rate of evaporation, thereby decreasing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a sensation of overheating. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
