July weather forecast
Buxton, Guyana

July brings a slight drop in rainfall and a minor increase in the average high temperature in Buxton. There's a subtle shift towards less cloudy weather which encourages more outdoor ventures. The reduced humidity combined with a slight rise in average high temperature makes July an ideal month to take advantage of Buxton's beautiful outdoor spaces. Meanwhile, there are still enough rain showers to keep the vibrant greenery flourishing. July, therefore, proves to be an ideal blend of warm temperatures and pleasant rainfall.

Temperature

July's arrival registers an average high-temperature of a still hot 30.7°C (87.3°F), closely aligning with the temperature of the previous month. In Buxton, an average nighttime temperature of 22.3°C (72.1°F) is expected during July.

Heat index

July's heat index is appraised at a blisteringly hot 41°C (105.8°F). Take special precautions - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke may occur with lengthy activity.
It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

Humidity

In Buxton, the average relative humidity in July is 84%.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are March, April, July through November, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the average person.
Note: In July, the maximum UV index of 7 translates into these guidelines:
Avert overexposure. Light-skinned people might experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Avoid direct exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, noting that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer complete sun protection. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
