Weather in July

July in Rockcastle, Kentucky, is a tropical summer month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 88°F (31.1°C) and 68.5°F (20.3°C).

Temperature

July is the warmest month of the year, registering average temperatures as high as 88°F (31.1°C) and as low as 68.5°F (20.3°C).

Heat index

During July, the heat index is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 104°F (40°C). Extra safeguards are necessary to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Prolonged activity might cause heatstroke.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. 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 primarily vital for children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.
