July weather forecast
Bangassou, Central African Republic

July follows the footprints of preceding months with consistent rainfall and high relative humidity. However, the city’s weather takes an interesting turn with the lowest highs temperatures recorded at 30°C (86°F). This relatively cooler weather is consistent throughout the day, thanks to the continuity in high cloud coverage. Wind speed and visibility in July continue the down-slopping trend from the previous month. Although rain showers maintain their regular visits, the decrease in maximum temperature adds a unique aspect to July’s weather in Bangassou.

Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
