The shift from June to July coincides with a small decrease in the average high-temperature, down to a tropical 34.7°C (94.5°F) from a very hot 38.3°C (100.9°F). An average minimum temperature of 25.3°C (77.5°F) is recorded during the month of July.

Heat index

For most parts of July, the heat index is appraised at a blazing hot 45°C (113°F). Remain alert: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Extended effort can lead to heatstroke.
When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. 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. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.

Note: The maximum UV index, 7 during July, leads to the following recommendations:
Undertake protective measures and comply with sun safety rules. Shielding against skin and eye damage is essential. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. A hat with a broad brim is indispensable, filtering out up to half of UV rays.
