July weather forecast
Michika, Nigeria

July, the same as June, is another warm summer month in Michika, Nigeria, with an average temperature ranging between min 21.8°C (71.2°F) and max 29.8°C (85.6°F).

Temperature

July is marked by a subtle drop in average high-temperatures, transitioning from a hot 33.3°C (91.9°F) in June to a warm 29.8°C (85.6°F). In the month of July, the nighttime temperature dips to a steady average of 21.8°C (71.2°F).

Heat index

For most parts of July, the heat index is calculated to be a very hot 35°C (95°F). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Stand by precautions and apply sun safety measures. Evading sunburn is of great importance. Be aware that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and try to reduce direct sun exposure during this period as much as possible. Your best bet for sun defense on the face, eyes, and neck is a hat with a wide brim.
