July weather forecast
Korgom, Niger

July stands out in Korgom as the wettest month of the year, witnessing as much as 45mm (1.77") of rainfall. An accompanying increase in humidity and cloud cover marks the peak of the monsoon season. The reduction in sunlight hours during the day and the increased cloud cover enhance the sense of the wet season, yielding a different facet of Korgom's weather. The gradual reduction of wind speed in July in comparison to the previous months also reinforces the characteristic monsoon feeling.

Temperature

The transition into July in Korgom marks the average high-temperature at a still fiery hot 36.4°C (97.5°F), differing minimally from June's 39.3°C (102.7°F). Korgom records an average temperature drop to a moderately hot 28.2°C (82.8°F) in July.

Heat index

In July, the heat index is evaluated at an extremely hot 41°C (105.8°F). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.
Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

Immediate precautions are necessary; otherwise, skin and eyes might get damaged quickly. Remember that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. Sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays play a pivotal role in reducing solar eye damage.
