July weather forecast
Melilla, Cuba

July, the same as June, in Melilla, Cuba, is another hot summer month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 31.3°C (88.3°F) and 23.3°C (73.9°F).

Temperature

Melilla's average high-temperature marks a still tropical 31.3°C (88.3°F) with the advent of July, closely mirroring that of the preceding month. Melilla experiences a mean low-temperature of 23.3°C (73.9°F) during July.

Heat index

In July, the average heat index is evaluated at an extremely hot 42°C (107.6°F). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.

Undertake precautions and comply with sun safety standards. Protection from skin and eye injury is vital. During the period from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., UV radiation is highest. Try to avoid direct sunlight during these hours. A hat with a broad brim is indispensable, filtering out up to half of UV rays.
