The onset of July brings an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.9°C (85.8°F), nearly matching the June temperature. Throughout July, the temperature falls to an average low of 21.8°C (71.2°F).

Heat index

During July, the heat index is computed to be a fiery hot 38°C (100.4°F). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.
Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to 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 human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Adhere to precautions and respect sun safety doctrines. Avoiding sunburn is vital.

Your best bet for sun defense on the face, eyes, and neck is a hat with a wide brim.
