July presents a continuation of the previous month's weather trend, with an increase in rainfall to 175mm (6.89"). This causes a decrease in daylight hours, resulting in cooler days. The increase in precipitation levels contributes to maintaining the lush, green landscapes characteristic of the Honduran tropical region. Despite the showers, the abundant flora and fauna continue to thrive, creating an appealing scene for nature lovers.
Temperature
July ushers in an average high-temperature of a still tropical 30.8°C (87.4°F), aligning closely with the preceding month. An average low-temperature of 21.8°C (71.2°F) is noted during the month of July.
Heat index
The heat index value during July is computed to be a blisteringly hot 40°C (104°F). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through 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 absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
Humidity
The average relative humidity in July is 80%.
