Heat index

July's heat index is appraised at a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

Humidity

In July, the average relative humidity is 59%.

Rainfall

July and August are months with the least rain when the rain falls for 2.2 days and typically aggregates up to 3mm (0.12") of rain.

Note: The UV index of 6 during July leads to these advisories:
Use protective steps and abide by sun safety guidelines. Safeguarding against skin and eye harm is necessary. 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. Shield yourself from the harmful effects of UV radiation with sun-protective attire, a hat, and quality sunglasses.
