July weather forecast
Djibouti, Djibouti

Entering the second half of the year, July in Djibouti holds its reputation as the hottest month, with temperatures occasionally touching an extreme 37.9°C (100.2°F). However, a peculiar shift happens in this month; a sudden surge happens in the rainfall. After the six dry months, July breaks the pattern with 10mm (0.39") rainfall, amplifying the humidity level. The wind speed shows the first significant increase of the year to an average of 14.6km/h (9.1mph), offering a counterbalance to the high heat. The weather begins to show signs of transition, hinting towards the changes that the forthcoming months will bring.

Temperature

July, noted for its average high-temperature of 37.9°C (100.2°F) and an average low-temperature of 31.4°C (88.5°F), is considered the warmest month.

Heat index

The heat index value for July is estimated at a blisteringly hot 44°C (111.2°F). Be prepared: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Continued activity may lead to heatstroke.
Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

Take important precautions because unprotected skin can burn and be harmed swiftly. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. Sun protection is enhanced with clothing that boasts a tight weave yet offers a loose fit. Be mindful! Sand and water reflections can up the Sun's UV exposure.
