July weather forecast
Liro, Benin

July is the peak of the wet season in Liro with practices and activities reflecting the 112mm (4.41") average rainfall. This month features a significant reduction in both, daily hours of sunshine and the corresponding UV index. Amidst these changes, temperatures continue a downward trend and reach their lowest point for the year. The period also marks the height of humidity levels that bring a certain heaviness to the air. Nonetheless, the breeze remains relatively mild.

Temperature

Liro, Benin, observes a small decrease in the average high-temperature with the arrival of July, falling from June's hot 33.1°C (91.6°F) to a moderately hot 29.8°C (85.6°F). During the nights in July, an average low-temperature of 21.7°C (71.1°F) is observed.

Heat index

The average heat index in July is calculated to be a very hot 37°C (98.6°F). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. 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 essentially critical for children. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Humidity

In July, the average relative humidity is 80%.

Rainfall

In July, the rain falls for 22.2 days. Throughout July, 112mm (4.41") of precipitation is accumulated. In Liro, during the entire year, the rain falls for 134.6 days and collects up to 596mm (23.46") of precipitation.

Sunshine

In Liro, the average sunshine in July is 7.4h.

UV index

July, August and December, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the lowest UV index in Liro. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.
Note: In July, the average maximum UV index of 6 translates into the following recommendations:
Persist with precautions and heed sun safety advice. Prevention of sunburn is compulsory. 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. In the presence of strong sunlight, it's crucial to wear sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays.
