July weather forecast
Limbe, Cameroon

July presents the peak of the rainy season in Limbe, as evidenced by the highest rainfall of 329mm (12.95") for the year. Nevertheless, the temperature stays between 23.2°C (73.8°F) to 27.3°C (81.1°F), providing a cooling respite from the previous months' heat. The continuous rains, coupled with cooling sea breezes, make July an ideal retreat from the typical tropical humidity. With the UV index dropping to six, it tempers the damaging effects of sun exposure, thus fostering outdoor activities.

Temperature

July's presence in Limbe marks an average high-temperature of a still warm 27.3°C (81.1°F), subtly varied from June's 29°C (84.2°F). July registers an average low temperature of 23.2°C (73.8°F), subtly lower than the daytime maximum.

Heat index

The heat index in July is appraised at a hot 31°C (87.8°F). Ongoing activity coupled with exposure often results in weariness and could induce heat cramps.
It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to 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.

Incorporate safeguards and honour sun safety principles. Protection from skin and eye damage is obligatory. 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. Always opt for UVA and UVB-resistant sunglasses on radiant days. Heads up! UV intensity is amplified by reflections from water and sand.
