June weather forecast
Sulphur, LA

June introduces the intense summer season with temperatures soaring up to 90°F (32.2°C) and above. The relative humidity remains consistently above 75%, contributing to the sweltering heat of the season. Although rain showers are more prevalent, they offer minimal respite as the temperature remains mostly unaffected. By employing safety measures against a UV index of 7, residents can still enjoy the abundant sunshine offered by the season. As they retire for the day, the sultry nights suggest that intense heat is here to stay.

Temperature

Sulphur's transition into June is marked by a minor temperature shift, moving from a warm 84.6°F (29.2°C) in May to a hot 90°F (32.2°C). Throughout June, Sulphur records an average temperature of 74.1°F (23.4°C) at night.

Heat index

For most parts of June, the heat index is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 109.4°F (43°C). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Prolonged effort can result in heatstroke.
When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Incorporate safeguards and honour sun safety principles. Protection from skin and eye damage is obligatory. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
