Heat index
The heat index value for July is estimated at a hot 31°C (87.8°F). Uninterrupted exposure and activity might result in fatigue, potentially causing heat cramps.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.

Note: The maximum UV index of 9 during July leads to these instructions:
Always be careful, as unprotected skin and eyes might burn in no time. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun's UV radiation is at its peak. Limit your exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. Sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays play a pivotal role in reducing solar eye damage. Prompt application of a broad-spectrum sunscreen, SPF 30+, is necessary after a swim or an outdoor workout and it should be re-applied every two hours. Attention! The combination of sand and water reflections enhances UV ray intensity.
