July stands out as the month receiving a high amount of daylight, topping the chart at 13.3 hours. The weather during this month, is dominated by an intense combination of sweltering heat and high rainfall. As a result, sun protection becomes imperative due to the peak UV index reaching 12. Despite the heightened summer effects, the love for beaches and water sports continues to lure tourists.
Temperature
Macau's temperatures peak on average in July, reaching 31.6°C (88.9°F) at their highest and 26.2°C (79.2°F) at their lowest.
Heat index
The heat index value for July is computed to be a scorching 44°C (111.2°F).
Be alert: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is a threat with sustained physical activity.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.

Enforce all necessary precautions, unprotected skin might burn swiftly. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, but remember that shade structures may not offer complete protection. Employ a hat with a wide brim for robust protection, cutting UV exposure by half. Use liberally and reapply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every two hours, or straight away after any outdoor workout or swim. Attention! The reflection of both water and sand can increase the intensity of UV rays.
