July weather forecast
Abouyi, Gabon

July, like June, is another tropical winter month in Abouyi, Gabon, with an average temperature ranging between min 20.9°C (69.6°F) and max 31.2°C (88.2°F).

Temperature

Abouyi marks the start of July with an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.2°C (88.2°F), hinting at a slight fluctuation from June's 30.8°C (87.4°F). The temperature dips to an average of 20.9°C (69.6°F) during July nights.

Heat index

For most parts of July, the heat index is calculated to be a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Undertake extra safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke may result from lengthy activity.
When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

Humidity

July and August, with an average relative humidity of 71%, are the least humid months.

July is the month with the least rainfall in Abouyi. Rain falls for 15.4 days and accumulates 32mm (1.26") of precipitation.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index in Abouyi are January, April and July, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.
Note: An average maximum UV index of 7 in July leads to these recommendations:
Avoid overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can burn in under 20 minutes. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
