July weather forecast
Sedhiou, Senegal

July tends to be the wettest month in Sedhiou, transforming the dry cityscape into an emerald green haven. Even though there is a drop in the topmost temperatures, a high relative humidity compensates, creating a sweltering atmosphere. Parallelly, a surplus of cloud cover and frequent rain spells considerably reduce sunshine days. The prominent climate feature of this month is the significant increase in rainfall to 186mm (7.32").

Heat index

The heat index value for July is appraised at a burning hot 45°C (113°F). Be prepared: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Continued activity may lead to heatstroke.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
