Temperature

The shift from June to July introduces a subtle increase in the average high-temperature, moving from a warm 28°C (82.4°F) to a hot 31°C (87.8°F). In Famagusta, the average low-temperature during July nights tends to settle at a moderately hot 26.5°C (79.7°F), indicating a slight drop from the daytime peak.

Heat index

In July, the heat index is estimated at a sweltering 36°C (96.8°F). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.
The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

Ensure precautions are always in place. The risk to skin and eyes is high without them. UV radiation from the Sun is most intense between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. For minimizing sun-related eye damage, always choose sunglasses with UVA and UVB coverage. Stay vigilant! UV rays get a boost in intensity due to sand and water reflections.
