July weather forecast
Marrakesh, Morocco

July is known as the sweltering peak of Marrakesh's summer, with long sunshine hours and nearly negligible rainfall. Despite the mounting heat during daytime, early mornings and late evenings provide respite with somewhat cooler temperatures. Due to the increase in heat, humidity decreases a bit, hailing the complete desert climate. July is significant as it exhibits the year's maximum temperature, with the mercury soaring to a scorching 36.8°C (98.2°F).

Temperature

Marrakesh, Morocco, experiences its highest average temperatures in July, reaching a peak of 36.8°C (98.2°F) and a minimum of 19.9°C (67.8°F).

Heat index

During July, the heat index is appraised at an extremely hot 44°C (111.2°F). Beware: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are on the cards. Heatstroke could result from sustained physical activity.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.

Practice all essential precautions. Protection against sun damage is crucial. Limit direct sun exposure especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. A hat with a generous brim can prevent nearly 50% of UV rays from reaching your 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.
