July weather forecast
Kozhikode, India

July, like June, in Kozhikode, India, is a moderately hot rainy (monsoon) season month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 24.5°C (76.1°F) and 29.8°C (85.6°F).

Temperature

July's advent denotes a minor fluctuation in the average high-temperature to a warm 29.8°C (85.6°F) from June's 30.5°C (86.9°F). An average nighttime temperature of 24.5°C (76.1°F) is recorded during July.

Heat index

Throughout July, the heat index is calculated to be a blistering 40°C (104°F). Implement more safety precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may happen. Persistent activity could induce heatstroke.
Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Ensure every crucial precaution is taken. Individuals with light skin could experience burns in under 5 minutes. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. Prioritize a wide-brim hat for comprehensive sun defense for your face, neck, eyes, and ears. Apply generously and frequently a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every two hours, or immediately after swimming or any outdoor exercise. Be vigilant! The Sun's UV rays get a boost from sand and water reflections.
