Weather in July

July, the same as June, is a very hot summer month in Cuba, Colombia, with an average temperature fluctuating between 24°C (75.2°F) and 36.8°C (98.2°F).

Temperature

As Cuba welcomes July, the average high-temperature is noted at a still very hot 36.8°C (98.2°F), closely aligning with the preceding month. A significant temperature decrease to an average a moderately hot 24°C (75.2°F) characterizes Cuba's nighttime temperatures during July.

Heat index

In July, the average heat index is computed to be a life-threatening hot 56°C (132.8°F). Warning: These weather conditions are regarded as very dangerous, as risk of heatstroke is looming.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.

Humidity

In July, the average relative humidity is 68%.

Rainfall

In July, the rain falls for 9.2 days. Throughout July, 32mm (1.26") of precipitation is accumulated. In Cuba, during the entire year, the rain falls for 134.6 days and collects up to 461mm (18.15") of precipitation.

Daylight

The average length of the day in July is 12h and 41min.
On the first day of the month, sunrise is at 05:40 and sunset at 18:26. On the last day of July, sunrise is at 05:47 and sunset at 18:23 -05.

Sunshine

April and July, with an average of 11.4h of sunshine, are months with the most sunshine.

UV index

The months with the lowest UV index are January, April through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: The maximum daily UV index of 7 in July converts into the following recommendations:
Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. Using UVA and UVB-protective sunglasses and sun-protective clothing is effective against UV radiation.
