July weather forecast
Sorong, Indonesia

July's weather being a hallmark of Sorong's tropical monsoon climate, is characterized by increased wind speeds toping at 6.5mph (10.5km/h) and a rise in average rainfall. It notices a slight dip in temperature from June, making July a slightly cooler month. Despite being in the middle of the year, the weather parameters of July essentially mirror those of the preceding months. This continuity in weather patterns illustrates the reliability of Sorong's year-round tropical climate.

Temperature

As June transitions into July, Sorong records an average high-temperature of a still warm 84°F (28.9°C), showing a gentle shift from the preceding month. Sorong records a slight downturn in temperature to an average of 75.6°F (24.2°C) during July nights.

Heat index

During July, the heat index is estimated at a sweltering 96.8°F (36°C). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.

Humidity

July is the most humid month, with an average relative humidity of 85%.

UV index

January through July, September and October, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the average person.
Note: The UV index of 7 during July translates into the following guidance:
Eschew overexposure. Those with light skin may suffer burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Stay out of direct sunlight and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest, but remember that shade devices may not offer full sun protection. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly. Beware! Reflections from sand and water can intensify the Sun's UV radiation.
