July weather forecast
Bitama, Eritrea

July, the peak of monsoon, brings about a shift in Bitama's weather with the highest rainfall of the year at 46mm (1.81"). This is also evident in the higher number of rainy days, substantially increasing the humidity. Contrary to the previous months, there is a decrease in daylight hours and as well as the temperature range. Nevertheless, the weather maintains a comparatively cooler environment. July, hence, experiences the first dip in temperature and an increase in rainfall.

Temperature

Bitama's progression into July involves a gentle drop in the average high-temperature, from 39.1°C (102.4°F) in June to a still very hot 35.5°C (95.9°F). In July, Bitama's temperature tends to fall to an average low of 26.8°C (80.2°F) during the night.

Heat index

In July, the average heat index is evaluated at an extremely hot 40°C (104°F). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.

UV index

January, July, November and December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the lowest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for average individuals.
Note: An average UV index of 7 in July transforms into this advice:
Adopt measures and apply sun safety strategies. Shielding from skin and eye damage is necessary. Limit direct sun exposure especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Loose clothes with a tight weave are optimal for safeguarding yourself against the Sun's rays.
