July, in the heart of the wet season, stands witness to
Havana's highest average monthly temperatures - 31.3°C (88.3°F) high and 23.8°C (74.8°F) low. Through these warmer days, relief arrives in the form of seasonal showers, complementing the fluctuating humidity levels. The outdoor visibility improves with an average of 9 sunshine hours, balancing the high UV index. Despite occasional downpour, water enthusiasts will find the warm sea temperatures, peaking at 29.4°C (84.9°F), absolutely enticing. July thus, properly positions itself within this period of maximum humidity and rainfall.
Temperature
The weather in Havana during July records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.3°C (88.3°F), closely mirroring the preceding month. Havana registers a consistent average low-temperature of 23.8°C (74.8°F) during July.
Heat index
July's average heat index is appraised at an extremely hot 41°C (105.8°F). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. 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. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.

Ensure all key precautions. Defense against sun exposure is critical. Remember that UV radiation from the Sun is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to limit direct sun exposure during this time. 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. A broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30+ should be used liberally and reapplied every two hours or post an outdoor workout or swim. Be cautious! Sand and water surfaces make the Sun's UV rays more potent.
