June surges towards summer, and the mercury rises rapidly in
Chuncheon. It is the opposite of winter's iciness, characterized by long, sunny days. With the increased daylight hours, everyday activities continue until late in the evening. Consequently, the increase in temperature also leads to heightened rainfall at 123mm (4.84"), adding a touch of humidity to the air. Despite the showers, most days remain pleasant, ideal for cultural celebrations such as the Dano festival.

Heat index
June's heat index is estimated at a tropical 30°C (86°F). Fatigue might occur with continuous exposure and activity, potentially causing heat cramps.
In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
