July weather forecast
Lenquete, Guinea-Bissau

July extends the rainy trend, though it pales in comparison to June, which holds the status of the wettest month. Contrasting the preceding month conspicuously, there's a decrease in temperature highs from 39.6°C (103.3°F) to 34.4°C (93.9°F). Meanwhile, the humidity levels reach their peak at 72%. The number of rainy days increases, but the number of sunshine days dwindles drastically. Throughout these weather changes, the wind speed scarcely budges from the trend.

Temperature

July brings a minor decrease, with the average high-temperature reducing from a very hot 39.6°C (103.3°F) in June to a hot 34.4°C (93.9°F). An average low-temperature of 24.3°C (75.7°F) is recorded in the month of July.

Heat index

For most parts of July, the heat index is appraised at a life-threatening hot 49°C (120.2°F). Stay wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Heatstroke can ensue from extended effort.
The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.

Note: An average UV index of 7 in July transforms into this advice:
Employ safeguards and advocate sun safety protocols. Shielding against skin and eye damage is crucial. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays.
