July can easily be classified as one of the hottest months of the year, with temperatures peaking at an average high of 31.6°C (88.9°F) in
Xinyang. Residents and visitors will notice that the humidity reaches its annual climax during this month, adding to the atmosphere's overall heat index. Amidst these conditions, rainfall continues to be a common occurrence, providing some respite from the warm climate. Despite being the height of summer, the comparative decrease in daylight hours foreshadows the approaching end of the season.
Temperature
July, with its average high-temperature of 31.6°C (88.9°F) and an average low-temperature of 23.9°C (75°F), holds the record as the warmest month in Xinyang,
China.
Heat index
July's mean heat index is computed to be a blisteringly hot 43°C (109.4°F).
Take note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke can occur with prolonged effort.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
