July sees the mercury remain consistent, with high temperatures hovering around a comfortable 30.6°C (87.1°F) margin. The hallmark of July's weather is the peak in precipitation levels, logging rainfall figures at an astonishing 369mm (14.53"). This level of rainfall converges with the highest relative humidity levels to underscore the tropical wet climate associated with
Yap in July. Lush vegetation flourishes due to the abundant rainfall and high humidity, casting a vibrant green hue across the island. Such climatic conditions favor indoor activities and create a distinct charm associated with visiting Yap during the peak wet season.
Temperature
Entering July, the average high-temperature is recorded at a still tropical 30.6°C (87.1°F), exhibiting a minimal shift from
June's 30.7°C (87.3°F). An average low-temperature of 23.4°C (74.1°F) is common during the nights of July.
Heat index
In July, the average heat index is estimated at a scorching 41°C (105.8°F). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. 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. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.

UV index
February through October, with an average maximum UV index of 12, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index of 11, and more, symbolizes an extreme health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.
Note: In July, an average UV index of 12 transforms into the following instructions:
Undertake all critical precautions. Protection from sun harm is vital. The hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. have the most intense UV radiation. As much as possible, limit direct sun exposure during this period. Equip yourself with UVA and UVB-filtering sunglasses on clear, sunny days. After a swim or outdoor exercise, one should liberally reapply broad-spectrum sunscreen with a sun protection factor of 30 or higher. Stay cautious! Sand and water reflections increase UV radiation potency.
