July weather forecast
Kapilvastu, Nepal

July stands out as the wettest month of the year, experiencing a substantial increase in rainfall to 248mm (9.76"), distinguishing it as the peak of the monsoon season. Temperature and humidity levels remain consistently high, reflecting typical tropical monsoon climate patterns. Although the number of sunshine hours reduces, July has longer daylight hours compared to previous months. The warm and moist weather conditions persist throughout July, providing a lush environment for Kapilvastu's rich vegetation. The end of July anticipates a decrease in rainfall, signaling the start of the monsoon retreat.

Temperature

The start of July signals a gentle decrease in the average high-temperature, transitioning from a fiery hot 39.3°C (102.7°F) in June to a tropical 34.8°C (94.6°F). Throughout July, Kapilvastu records an average temperature of 28.2°C (82.8°F) at night.

Heat index

For July, the heat index is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 47°C (116.6°F). Stay vigilant: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke may follow prolonged exertion.
In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in July is 66%.

Rainfall

The month with the most rainfall is July, when the rain falls for 23.8 days and typically aggregates up to 248mm (9.76") of precipitation.

UV index

April through August, with an average maximum UV index of 8, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index value of 8 to 10 symbolizes a very high threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: The UV index of 8 during July translates into the following guidance:
Take special precautions, as unprotected eyes and skin can be burned and damaged quickly. Avoid exposure to the Sun and try to stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent, but be aware that parasols or canopies may not offer full protection. For a sun-safe wardrobe, go for clothes that are tightly woven and generously sized.
