July weather forecast
Haifa, Israel

July represents the height of the scorching summer season in Haifa. The sweltering heat sends the maximum temperature to a yearly high of 31.1°C (88°F) while the minimum temperature steeply rises to 23°C (73.4°F). There's absolutely no rainfall, marking it as the driest month of the year. The Mediterranean becomes a welcoming respite with temperatures peaking at 27.3°C (81.1°F). Despite the harsh sun, which shines for 12 hours daily, the high UV index remains constant at 11, emphasizing the necessity of sun protection.

Temperature

The shift to July signals an average high-temperature of a hot 31.1°C (88°F), subtly varied from June's 29.3°C (84.7°F). An average low-temperature of 23°C (73.4°F) is noted during the month of July.

Heat index

July's heat index is calculated to be a scorching 41°C (105.8°F). Incorporate extra safety measures to avoid heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Continuous activity could provoke heatstroke.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are June and July, with an average maximum UV index of 11. A UV Index estimate of 11, and higher, represents an ultimate health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.
Note: An average maximum UV index of 11 in July leads to these recommendations:
Undertake every vital safety procedure, as unprotected skin and eyes could sustain burns in no time. The hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. have the most intense UV radiation. As much as possible, limit direct sun exposure during this period. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes. Even on overcast days, a sunscreen with a sun protection factor of no less than 30 should be generously applied and reapplied, particularly after swimming or outdoor activities. Heed this! UV intensity is much stronger when reflected off sand and water.
