Heat index

The heat index in July is evaluated at a sweltering 39°C (102.2°F). Extra safeguards are necessary to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Prolonged activity might cause heatstroke.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

Humidity

UV index

June, July and December, with an average maximum UV index of 11, are months with the lowest UV index. A UV Index value of 11, and more, symbolizes an extreme health hazard from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for average individuals.
Note: The maximum UV index of 11 during July translates into these guidelines:
Ensure every crucial precaution is taken. Individuals with light skin could experience burns in under 5 minutes. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun. Even when the sky is cloudy, apply generously and frequently reapply a sunscreen with SPF 30 or more, especially post every swim or outdoor exercise. Heed this! UV intensity is much stronger when reflected off sand and water.
