Temperature

The shift from June to July includes a small decrease in the average high-temperature, from a torrid 35.6°C (96.1°F) to a hot 31.7°C (89.1°F). Mado reports a consistent average low-temperature of 22.8°C (73°F) throughout July nights.

Heat index

During July, the heat index is computed to be a blisteringly hot 41°C (105.8°F). Incorporate additional safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Long-term activity may induce heatstroke.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in July is 73%.

Enforce precautions and stick to sun safety measures. Preservation from skin and eye damage is essential. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Opt for tightly woven and loose clothing to enhance protection from the Sun.
