Weather in July

July, like June, is another tropical summer month in Zouto, Benin, with an average temperature ranging between max 30°C (86°F) and min 22.3°C (72.1°F).

Temperature

The beginning of July reveals an average high-temperature of a still tropical 30°C (86°F), showing minimal deviation from the previous month. During July, Zouto experiences an average low-temperature of 22.3°C (72.1°F) at night.

Heat index

The heat index in July is calculated to be a sweltering 39°C (102.2°F). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.
When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. 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 particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. 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.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.

Humidity

In July, the average relative humidity is 83%.

Rainfall

July is the month with the most rainfall. Rain falls for 26.5 days and accumulates 129mm (5.08") of precipitation.

UV index

July and August, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the lowest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: The maximum daily UV index, 6 in July, converts into the following recommendations:
Implement precautions and maintain sun safety methods. Avoidance of sunburn is demanded. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. To best shield against UV radiation, choose sun-safe garments and dependable sunglasses.
