July weather forecast
Tarifa, Ecuador

July, like June, is a hot winter month in Tarifa, Ecuador, with an average temperature varying between 31.2°C (88.2°F) and 20.5°C (68.9°F).

Temperature

The arrival of July marks a slight shift to an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.2°C (88.2°F) from June's 30.9°C (87.6°F). Throughout the month of July, Tarifa witnesses an average temperature of 20.5°C (68.9°F).

Heat index

In July, the heat index is computed to be a scorching 40°C (104°F). Incorporate special precautions, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is substantial. Sustained activity could cause heatstroke.
Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in July is 76%.

Rainfall

In July, the rain falls for 13.9 days. Throughout July, 27mm (1.06") of precipitation is accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 235.3 rainfall days, and 1397mm (55") of precipitation is accumulated.

Sunshine

The average sunshine in July is 8.7h.

UV index

The months with the lowest UV index are January through August, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the average person.
Note: A maximum UV index of 6 in July translates into the following recommendations:
Dodge overexposure. Fair-skinned people can get singed in less than 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is particularly strong, noting that parasols or canopies may not offer total sun protection. Counter UV radiation's ill effects with clothing designed for sun safety and UV-resistant eyewear.
