July weather forecast
Donga, Nigeria

July, the same as June, in Donga, Nigeria, is a hot summer month, with an average temperature ranging between min 23.2°C (73.8°F) and max 30.2°C (86.4°F).

Temperature

The arrival of July brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 30.2°C (86.4°F), subtly diverging from June's 32.5°C (90.5°F). July generally records an average low-temperature of 23.2°C (73.8°F).

Heat index

The heat index value for July is evaluated at a sweltering 39°C (102.2°F). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in July is 81%.

Rainfall

In Donga, during July, the rain falls for 26.3 days and regularly aggregates up to 118mm (4.65") of precipitation. In Donga, Nigeria, during the entire year, the rain falls for 157.4 days and collects up to 666mm (26.22") of precipitation.

Sunshine

In Donga, the average sunshine in July is 6.5h.

UV index

July and August, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the lowest UV index. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: The UV index of 6 during July leads to these advisories:
Eschew overexposure. Those with light skin may suffer burns in fewer than 20 minutes. The Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
