July weather forecast
Dhaka, Bangladesh

Into the heart of summer in July, Dhaka continues to experience high heat indexes. July is characterized by overcast skies, and the city receives substantial rainfall over 20.9 days averaging to 114mm (4.49"). Days are long, allowing for more sunshine, although the relative humidity peaks at more than 80%. Dhaka is quite windy during this month with average wind speeds around 13.9km/h (8.6mph) and gust speeds reaching as high as 19.9km/h (12.4mph). Despite a negligible dip in temperature from June to July, the weather maintains a high heat index due to the high number of rainy days.

Temperature

Dhaka's average high-temperature in July is a still tropical 32.6°C (90.7°F), marking an insignificant difference from the 34°C (93.2°F) of June. Throughout the month of July, Dhaka observes an average nighttime temperature of 26.8°C (80.2°F).

Heat index

For most parts of July, the heat index is appraised at a blazing hot 47°C (116.6°F). Take heed: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Heatstroke is a potential outcome of continuous activity.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Kids often lack the knowledge about the necessity to take breaks and consume liquids. Thirst, as a late symptom of dehydration, necessitates the maintenance of hydration, particularly during enduring physical activities.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

Note: The maximum UV index of 7 during July leads to these instructions:
Guard oneself from overexposure. Defence against sun injury is vital. Avoid exposure to the Sun and try to stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent, but be aware that parasols or canopies may not offer full protection. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
