July weather forecast
Guétéma, Mali

July, like June, in Guétéma, Mali, is another fiery hot summer month, with an average temperature ranging between min 27.9°C (82.2°F) and max 37.2°C (99°F).

Temperature

July is characterized by a slight reduction in average high-temperature, easing from a blistering 41.1°C (106°F) in June to a very hot 37.2°C (99°F). In the month of July, the average low-temperature usually rests at a moderately hot 27.9°C (82.2°F).

Heat index

The heat index value during July is calculated to be a blistering 44°C (111.2°F). Stay vigilant: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke may follow prolonged exertion.
Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

Humidity

In July, the average relative humidity is 46%.

It is essential to prioritize protection. Unprotected skin and eyes can suffer rapid harm. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is particularly strong, noting that parasols or canopies may not offer total sun protection. Outfit yourself in sun-safe attire, like long sleeves, pants, a hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses.
