The relatively stable weather conditions make sightseeing and indoor activities equally feasible.

Temperature

With July's arrival, Soyapango's weather records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.9°C (89.4°F), marking little difference from June's 30.8°C (87.4°F). Soyapango's nighttime temperature in July drops to an average of 21.3°C (70.3°F).

Heat index

For most parts of July, the heat index is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 43°C (109.4°F). Careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. With ongoing exertion, heatstroke becomes a possibility.
Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. 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 remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.

Note: The UV index of 6 during July translates into the following guidance:
Persist in precautions and follow sun safety policies. Keeping sunburn at bay is imperative. Avoid direct Sun exposure and stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is most intense, noting that not all shade structures offer full protection. For holistic sun protection encompassing the eyes, ears, face, and neck, a wide-brim hat is key.
