July weather forecast
Lebamba, Gabon

In July, the weather in Lebamba, Gabon, takes a drier turn. The reduction in rainfall is even more pronounced this month, marking it as one of the driest months of the year. The lower levels of humidity, combined with a consistent, fair amount of sunlight contribute to a generally more comfortable atmosphere for residents and visitors. A gentle wind of 5.1km/h (3.2mph) aids in reducing the overall warmth and humidity, turning July into a comfortably warm and relatively dry month, thus creating pleasant climatic conditions. A significantly lower relative humidity value of 74% characterises the month, helping to mitigate the previously consistent high humidity figures.

Temperature

The unfolding of July shows an average high-temperature of a still hot 30.5°C (86.9°F), indicating a slight variance from June's 30.1°C (86.2°F). Lebamba experiences a mean temperature of 19.7°C (67.5°F) during July nights.

Heat index

In July, the heat index is evaluated at a sweltering 37°C (98.6°F). Undertake enhanced precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible risks. Continuous activity could trigger heatstroke.
It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Juveniles are regularly less conscious of the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a tardy symptom of dehydration - hydration, especially during lengthy physical activities, should be maintained.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
