July weather forecast
Nkan, Congo

July, like June, is another tropical winter month in Nkan, Congo, with an average temperature varying between 33.3°C (91.9°F) and 23.3°C (73.9°F).

Temperature

July is the month that records the highest temperatures, with averages ranging from a high of 33.3°C (91.9°F) to a low of 23.3°C (73.9°F).

Heat index

July's heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 39°C (102.2°F). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

Humidity

With an average relative humidity of 57%, July is the least humid month.

Rainfall

The month with the least rainfall is July, when the rain falls for 13.2 days and typically collects 21mm (0.83") of precipitation.

UV index

January through August, October through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index in Nkan, Congo. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for average individuals.
Note: In July, a regular UV index of 7 translates into these guidelines:
Persist with precautions and heed sun safety advice. Prevention of sunburn is compulsory. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
