Unusually, this is the month with the highest average rainfall, swelling at a considerable 153mm (6.02"), making it the wettest month of the year. The end of June suggests a shift towards marginally cooler temperatures and continuous rains, setting the stage for a soggy July.

Temperature

Big Creek enters June recording an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.1°C (88°F), consistent with the temperature of the month gone by. An average nighttime temperature of 24.8°C (76.6°F) is noted during the month of June.

Heat index

In June, the average heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 41°C (105.8°F). Implement more safety precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may happen. Persistent activity could induce heatstroke.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.

Note: In June, the maximum UV index of 7 translates into these guidelines:
Deflect overexposure. Sun protection is a necessity. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun. Attention! UV strength is notably upped by the reflection of sand and water.
