July weather forecast
Malandim, Guinea-Bissau

July, like June, is another hot summer month in Malandim, Guinea-Bissau, with an average temperature fluctuating between 31.1°C (88°F) and 24.3°C (75.7°F).

Temperature

July ushers in a minute temperature change, with average high-temperatures reducing from June's 34.8°C (94.6°F) to a still hot 31.1°C (88°F). During July, the nighttime temperature averages of 24.3°C (75.7°F).

Heat index

In July, the average heat index is computed to be an extremely hot 42°C (107.6°F). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant 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.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

Note: A maximum high UV index of 7 in July translates into the following recommendations:
Shun overexposure. Protection from sun ravages is indispensable. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the period of highest UV radiation. Remember, however, that not all shade structures offer full protection. In bright sunlight, prioritize sunglasses that grant protection from UVA and UVB radiation.
