Temperature

Fairhope's transition into June is noticed by a slight rise in the average high-temperature, advancing from a moderately hot 82°F (27.8°C) in May to a hot 87.6°F (30.9°C). June brings with it a nighttime average temperature of 76.6°F (24.8°C).

Heat index

June's average heat index is estimated at a sweltering 102.2°F (39°C). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.

Note: The daily high UV index of 7 in June translates into this advice:
Apply measures and align with sun safety principles. Safeguarding against skin and eye injury is pivotal. Avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide full protection. A hat with a generous brim can prevent nearly 50% of UV rays from reaching your eyes.
