July weather forecast
Esperanza, Belize

July ushers in a slight reprieve in precipitation, with rainfall falling to 44mm (1.73"). Sunshine levels witness a subtle climb, nudging towards an average of 8 hours per day. Though humidity levels remain relatively high, a consistent wind speed ensures air circulation. The cloud coverage scale tips slightly in favor of clear skies, with a little over half the skies being covered. The gradual lengthening of sunshine hours reveals the silver lining to the prevalent rainy conditions.

Temperature

Entering July, the average high-temperature is recorded at a still hot 31.4°C (88.5°F), exhibiting a minimal shift from June's 31.2°C (88.2°F). July brings Esperanza a consistent average low-temperature of 21.8°C (71.2°F).

Heat index

In July, the heat index is appraised at an extremely hot 43°C (109.4°F). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Prolonged effort can result in heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

Undertake precautions and comply with sun safety standards. Protection from skin and eye injury is vital. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation. Limit direct exposure to the Sun during these hours. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun.
