July

Weather in July

July sees the further intensification of the monsoon with 36mm (1.42") of rainfall often drenching the city, offering slight relief from the intensifying heat. An increasing trend in cloud% from June to July limits direct sun exposure. The mercury levels show little variation, continuing with similar maximum and minimum temperatures from the previous month. However, the wind patterns experience a slight decrease, marking the end of the gale months. The atmosphere remains saturated during this period, revealing the peak of the rainy season.

Temperature

Upon the beginning of July, Madurai's high-temperatures register at a still sweltering 35.6°C (96.1°F), closely mirroring the preceding month. An average nighttime temperature of 26.9°C (80.4°F) is recorded during July.

Heat index

The heat index in July is appraised at a blistering 43°C (109.4°F). Take note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke can occur with prolonged effort.
In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
