Sangmelima's average high-temperature in July sits at a still moderately hot 28.6°C (83.5°F), showing little difference from the previous month. Nighttime temperatures in July average to a refreshing 19.7°C (67.5°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in July is evaluated at a sweltering 35°C (95°F). Ensure extra safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in July is 89%.

Be mindful. Individuals with a lighter skin tone may suffer burns in less than 30 minutes. Solar radiation peaks around mid-day, so it's wise to limit exposure to the Sun at this time. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
