July weather forecast
Glasgow, Jamaica

July, the same as June, is another warm summer month in Glasgow, Jamaica, with an average temperature ranging between max 29.6°C (85.3°F) and min 27.3°C (81.1°F).

Temperature

The introduction of July notes a subtle temperature variation to a still moderately hot 29.6°C (85.3°F) from June's 29.2°C (84.6°F). Glasgow, in July, registers an average low temperature of 27.3°C (81.1°F), showing a minute reduction from daily highs.

Heat index

During July, the heat index is calculated to be a very hot 35°C (95°F). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.

Humidity

In July, the average relative humidity is 76%.

Employ safeguards and advocate sun safety protocols. Shielding against skin and eye damage is crucial. Avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide full protection. Counter UV radiation's ill effects with clothing designed for sun safety and UV-resistant eyewear.
