Temperature

As July begins, there is a minor decrease in the average high-temperature, softly falling from a very hot 39.8°C (103.6°F) in June to a still torrid 35.3°C (95.5°F). July witnesses an average nighttime temperature of 27.3°C (81.1°F) in Yao.

Heat index

July's mean heat index is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 42°C (107.6°F). Greater safety measures are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Continuous activity might trigger heatstroke.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.

Humidity

In July, the average relative humidity is 52%.

For minimizing sun-related eye damage, always choose sunglasses with UVA and UVB coverage.
