July weather forecast
Gamboa, Panama

July, the same as June, is another warm summer month in Gamboa, Panama, with an average temperature ranging between max 29.2°C (84.6°F) and min 24.4°C (75.9°F).

Temperature

July's entry sees an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29.2°C (84.6°F), replicating June's climate. A steady low-temperature average of 24.4°C (75.9°F) is logged during July, reflecting a modest dip from daytime readings.

Heat index

During July, the heat index is computed to be a sweltering 37°C (98.6°F). Implement additional cautionary measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Prolonged activity might induce heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the lowest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the average person.
Note: The UV index of 7 during July translates into the following guidance:
Apply measures and align with sun safety principles. Safeguarding against skin and eye injury is pivotal. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. To mitigate harm from sun exposure, pick sunglasses offering UVA and UVB defense.
