Temperature

Chandigarh in July experiences a gentle temperature dip, with average high-temperatures reducing from a fiery hot 39.4°C (102.9°F) in June to a hot 34.9°C (94.8°F). Chandigarh, during the month of July, experiences an average low-temperature of 26.3°C (79.3°F).

Heat index

July's average heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 45°C (113°F). Stay alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a likely outcome of ongoing activity.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
