Plato, Colombia

July, the same as June, in Plato, Colombia, is a hot summer month, with an average temperature ranging between max 34.1°C (93.4°F) and min 23.3°C (73.9°F).

Temperature

The commencement of July records an average high-temperature of a still hot 34.1°C (93.4°F), barely varying from June's 33.5°C (92.3°F). In the month of July, the average low-temperature in Plato usually rests at a moderately hot 23.3°C (73.9°F).

Heat index

In July, the average heat index is estimated at a blazing hot 50°C (122°F). On guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a potential hazard with continuous physical effort.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. 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 'felt air temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.

Sustain precautions and conform to sun safety norms. Preventing sunburn is necessary. Remember that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun.
