July weather forecast
Kwakwani, Guyana

July doesn't witness drastic changes from June with the exception of a slight, but noticeable, decrease in cloud coverage and a dip in wind speed to 4.2km/h (2.6mph). This, coupled with the persistent high temperature of 31°C (87.8°F) and steady rainfall, paints July as a characteristically tropical month in Kwakwani. Also, interesting to note is the UV index hitting a high of 7.

Temperature

July brings a marginal elevation to a still hot 31°C (87.8°F) from June's 30.5°C (86.9°F) in Kwakwani's average high-temperatures. Kwakwani's average low-temperature for the month of July records at a pleasant 21.9°C (71.4°F).

Heat index

During July, the heat index is evaluated at a blistering 43°C (109.4°F). Heed: Expect heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continued action may cause heatstroke.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.

June and July, with an average relative humidity of 87%, are the most humid months.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are June through November, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: The daily high UV index of 7 during July translates into the following recommendations:
Take precautions against overexposure. Fair-skinned people may get burned in less than 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is particularly strong, noting that parasols or canopies may not offer total sun protection. Stay sun-safe with clothing that is both closely woven and worn loosely.
