Temperature

With the arrival of July, Kangounadeni notices a mild change in the average high-temperature, sliding from June's fiery hot 35.6°C (96.1°F) to a hot 31.7°C (89.1°F). Kangounadeni records a steady low-temperature average of 22.8°C (73°F) during July.

Heat index

The heat index value during July is calculated to be a scorching 41°C (105.8°F). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. 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 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. 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 particularly important for children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Humidity

In July, the average relative humidity is 73%.

Rainfall

In July, the rain falls for 21 days. Throughout July, 96mm (3.78") of precipitation is accumulated. In Kangounadeni, during the entire year, the rain falls for 129.7 days and collects up to 548mm (21.57") of precipitation.

UV index

In Kangounadeni, the average daily maximum UV index in July is 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.
Note: The maximum daily UV index, 7 in July, converts into the following recommendations:
Evade overexposure. Individuals with fair skin risk burning in under 20 minutes. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, and note that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer full sun protection. Consider a wide-brim hat essential for effective sun defense covering your face, neck, and eyes.
