The constant cloud cover maintains lower daylight hours, compromising the duration of sunshine. While the temperatures stabilize in the comfortable range, the humidity levels remain at their peak. A modest decrease in several weather parameters is on the horizon as July transitions into August.

Temperature

July is the coldest month, exhibiting average temperatures of 28.3°C (82.9°F) at the peak and 20.6°C (69.1°F) at the base.

Heat index

During July, the heat index is evaluated at a sweltering 35°C (95°F). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.
The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
