July weather forecast
Balikpapan, Indonesia

July boasts the highest wind speeds in Balikpapan, averaging 11,5km/h (3.1mph). July carries on the June rhythm, offering a comfortable climate for tourists and locals alike.

Heat index

In July, the heat index is computed to be a very hot 35°C (95°F). Ensure heightened precautions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Sustained activity could provoke heatstroke.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.

A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the average person.
Note: A maximum high UV index of 7 in July translates into the following recommendations:
Guard against overexposure. Protection from sun-induced harm is essential. The Sun's UV radiation is most powerful between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. To the extent possible, limit exposure to the direct sun during these hours. To mitigate harm from sun exposure, pick sunglasses offering UVA and UVB defense. Take heed! Reflections of sand and water make the Sun's UV rays stronger.
