July weather forecast
Doha, Qatar

July stands toe-to-toe with June, continuing the trend of the year's most severe weather conditions in Doha. The city witnesses negligible relief from the heat, with the mercury regularly soaring around the 40°C (104°F) mark. July breaks all records, with sea temperatures rising to a staggering 32.8°C (91°F), an all-time high for the year. Despite these sweltering conditions, Doha still presents opportunities for night-time explorations, as the sun downs earlier than the previous month. As we near the end of summer, the transition to August will carry over these high temperature trends, while anticipating a slight increase in humidity.

Temperature

Doha's temperatures peak on average in July, reaching 41.5°C (106.7°F) at their highest and 29.1°C (84.4°F) at their lowest.

Heat index

In July, the average heat index is calculated to be a blazing hot 59°C (138.2°F). Warning: These weather conditions are seen as exceedingly treacherous, heatstroke is on the horizon.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.

Note: A maximum daily UV index of 12 during July morphs into the following directions:
Ensure all key precautions. Defense against sun exposure is critical. The Sun's UV radiation is at its strongest between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Minimize direct exposure to the sun during this period. Sun-related eye harm can be minimized with proper sunglasses offering UVA and UVB coverage. Despite the cloud cover, sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 should be generously applied and reapplied, particularly after a swim or an outdoor workout. Beware! The strength of the UV rays is significantly increased by the reflection of the water and sand.
