July weather forecast
Bongo, Gabon

July, like June, is another tropical winter month in Bongo, Gabon, with an average temperature varying between 19.7°C (67.5°F) and 30.5°C (86.9°F).

Temperature

The onset of July marks an average high-temperature of a still tropical 30.5°C (86.9°F), hardly differing from June's 30.1°C (86.2°F). Bongo observes an average low-temperature of 19.7°C (67.5°F) during July nights.

Heat index

For July, the heat index is computed to be a torrid 37°C (98.6°F). Incorporate additional safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Long-term activity may induce heatstroke.
Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. 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 'felt air temperature', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.

Endorse precautions and be consistent with sun safety guidelines. Preventing sunburn is paramount. The Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. On days when the sun blazes, arm yourself with sunglasses that block UVA and UVB radiation.
