July weather forecast
Sarikei, Malaysia

July, like June, is another hot summer month in Sarikei, Malaysia, with an average temperature fluctuating between 23°C (73.4°F) and 33°C (91.4°F).

Temperature

The transition into July brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 33°C (91.4°F) that remains consistent with June. July generally records an average low-temperature of 23°C (73.4°F).

Heat index

Throughout July, the heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 48°C (118.4°F). Alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely to occur. Prolonged exertion can lead to heatstroke.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are March through September, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for average individuals.
Note: A typical high UV index of 7 in July suggests the following recommendations:
Skirt overexposure. People with light complexions might get scorched in under 20 minutes. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, and note that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer full sun protection. A hat with a generous brim can prevent nearly 50% of UV rays from reaching your eyes.
