July showcases similar characteristics of its previous month,
June, in establishing
Boca de Cachón’s typical tropical climate. The hot July sun keeps the temperature climbing, leaving traces of discomfort among the residents. What sets July apart is the rise in temperature to a notable 35.3°C (95.5°F) high among the humidity imposed atmosphere. The transition from mild climatic conditions to searing heat is unmistakable. Remarkably, the daylight time remains nearly stagnant at 13.1 hours, longer than most other months.
Temperature
July is the month that records the highest temperatures in Boca de Cachón, with averages ranging from a high of 35.3°C (95.5°F) to a low of 23.8°C (74.8°F).
Heat index
July's heat index is calculated to be a burning hot 46°C (114.8°F).
Warning: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Heatstroke is a risk with ongoing activity.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. 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.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
