Weather in July

July offers only slight relief from June's extreme temperatures, with a marginal drop reflecting in the average high temperature. The almost non-existent rainfall combined with slightly elevated relative humidity levels contribute to the hot and dry weather. Even though the sea temperature dips slightly, it remains warm enough for beach activities. The weather characteristics of July overlap significantly with those of August, with both months sharing similar weather traits. July's temperature reaches a peak of 40.5°C (104.9°F), maintaining the summer's raging heat.

Temperature

The advent of July reveals an average high-temperature of a still blistering 40.5°C (104.9°F), showing minimal difference from the prior month. Throughout the month of July, the average temperature dips to a warm 29.5°C (85.1°F) at night.

Heat index

The heat index in July is calculated to be a burning hot 64°C (147.2°F). Warning: These weather conditions are evaluated as highly hazardous, and imminent is the threat of heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.

Humidity

In Sur, the average relative humidity in July is 59%.

Rainfall

UV index

April through August, with an average maximum UV index of 12, are months with the highest UV index in Sur. A UV Index reading of 11, and higher, represents an ultimate health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: The daily high UV index of 12 in July translates into this advice:
Carry out all important precautions, unprotected skin could get burns in no time. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation. Limit direct exposure to the Sun during these hours. Prioritize a wide-brim hat for comprehensive sun defense for your face, neck, eyes, and ears. Use liberally and reapply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every two hours, or straight away after any outdoor workout or swim. Be alert! The reflection of water and sand augments UV radiation intensity.
