Temperature

July sees a slight reduction in average high-temperature, with a shift from a torrid 38.9°C (102°F) in June to a still sweltering 35.4°C (95.7°F). During July, the temperature tends to dip to an average of 27°C (80.6°F) at night.

Heat index

The average heat index in July is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 42°C (107.6°F). Implement additional preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Heatstroke could follow prolonged activity.
In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

Take all necessary measures. Eyes and skin are at risk if left unprotected. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is particularly strong, noting that parasols or canopies may not offer total sun protection. For minimizing sun-related eye damage, always choose sunglasses with UVA and UVB coverage.
