July ends the trend of climbing sea temperatures, showing a slight decrease from 30.2°C (86.4°F) in
June to 30.2°C (86.4°F). Despite this, land temperatures register a negligible increase. There is a slight but continual rise in precipitation and rainy days. The unchanged daylight hours support exploration and beach activities, accommodating the sunseekers. Weather patterns in July revolve around stable temperatures, slightly increased precipitation, and consistent daylight hours.
Temperature
July brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 32.9°C (91.2°F) in
Songkhla,
Thailand, showing a slight difference from June's 33.1°C (91.6°F). An average nighttime temperature of 24.8°C (76.6°F) is witnessed throughout July.
Heat index
The average heat index in July is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 46°C (114.8°F).
Take note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke can occur with prolonged effort.
Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
Humidity
The average relative humidity in July is 77%.
Rainfall
