Temperature

A subtle shift in Kolokolo's weather is observed as June turns into July, with the average high temperature reducing from a fiery hot 35.6°C (96.1°F) to a hot 31.7°C (89.1°F). Throughout July, the average low-temperature in Kolokolo records at a pleasant 22.8°C (73°F).

Heat index

The heat index for July is estimated at an extremely hot 41°C (105.8°F). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

Humidity

In July, the average relative humidity is 73%.

UV index

The average daily maximum UV index in July is 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the average person.
Note: In July, the maximum UV index of 7 translates into these guidelines:
Uphold preventive measures and conform to sun safety guidelines. Defending against skin and eye harm is crucial. The hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. have the most intense UV radiation. As much as possible, limit direct sun exposure during this period. A hat with a broad brim is indispensable, filtering out up to half of UV rays.
