Temperature

July experiences an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.3°C (88.3°F), barely different from June's 30.8°C (87.4°F). During the month of July, the temperature falls to an average of 20.3°C (68.5°F).

Heat index

The heat index for July is estimated at a scorching 40°C (104°F). Adopt enhanced safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps could occur. Continuous activity may induce heatstroke.
Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely vital to 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.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.

Humidity

In Mvengue, the average relative humidity in July is 74%.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are January and July, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.
Note: In July, an average UV index of 7 transforms into the following instructions:
Undertake protective measures and comply with sun safety rules. Shielding against skin and eye damage is essential. The hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. have the most intense UV radiation. As much as possible, limit direct sun exposure during this period. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
