Heat index

The heat index in July is evaluated at a blistering 41°C (105.8°F). Exercise special caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Prolonged activity may induce heatstroke.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. 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.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

Humidity

In July, the average relative humidity is 76%.

UV index

January through May, July, November and December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.
Note: In July, an average UV index of 7 transforms into the following instructions:
Apply measures and align with sun safety principles. Safeguarding against skin and eye injury is pivotal. To the best of your ability, limit your exposure to the sun between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Equip yourself with UVA and UVB-filtering sunglasses on clear, sunny days.
