July weather forecast
Randa, Djibouti

July continues to embrace the extremes of the desert climate in Randa, Djibouti, although starting to show the first signs of subsiding heat. There remains a steadfast consistency in the town's weather compared to June, with the maximum temperatures mildly dropping. Gusts of wind reach their top annual speeds, clocking 22.8km/h (14.2mph), providing some respite from the intense heat. Slightly increasing cloud cover and signs of increased rainfall hint at the impending changes in the approaching cooler period, even as the town remains within the grip of summer. Despite these subtle shifts, the scorching, arid conditions of July keep the peak summer vibe alive.

Temperature

Temperature records mark July as the warmest month, with highs averaging 37.9°C (100.2°F) and lows at 31.4°C (88.5°F).

Heat index

July's mean heat index is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 44°C (111.2°F). Watchful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are predicted. Continued exertion could lead to heatstroke.
In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. 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 'feels like', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.
