July in
Singapore ushers in a continuation of the warm and humid conditions from
June. Interestingly, the average daylight remains constant at 12.2 hours, offering ample time to enjoy the breadth of Singapore's attractions. Relative humidity and temperature show little variation, contributing to a fairly static climate throughout. Subtle changes in weather patterns provide a seamless transition from June to July. As a result, Singapore continues to offer an attractive climate for outdoor adventures and exploration.
Temperature
With the advent of July, Singapore's high-temperatures adjust to a still hot 30.9°C, closely aligning with the preceding month. Singapore in July anticipates an average nighttime temperature of 24.6°C.
Heat index
In July, the heat index is computed to be a scorching 42°C. Take greater precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could result from lengthy activity.
The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
Humidity
February and July, with an average relative humidity of 82.8%, are the least humid months in Singapore, Singapore.
Rainfall
July is the month with the least rainfall. Rain falls for 13 days and accumulates 159mm of precipitation.
Sea temperature
In July, the average sea temperature in Singapore is 29.7°C.
Note: Water surface temperatures from 25°C to 29°C are considered optimal and extremely delightful for long-lasting pleasure in any water activity.
Daylight
In Singapore, the average length of the day in July is 12h and 11min.
On the first day of the month, sunrise is at 07:02 and sunset at 19:14. On the last day of July, in Singapore, sunrise is at 07:05 and sunset at 19:16 +08.
Sunshine
In July, the average sunshine in Singapore is 6.1h.
UV index
The months with the lowest UV index in Singapore are June and July, with an average maximum UV index of 11. A UV Index estimate of 11, and higher, represents an extreme health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for average individuals.
Note: The daily maximum UV index of 11 in July interprets into the following advice:
Undertake every vital safety procedure, as unprotected skin and eyes could sustain burns in no time. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this time. During bright days, sunglasses that offer UVA and UVB defense are recommended. Even on overcast days, apply and frequently reapply a sunscreen with SPF 30 or more, specifically after a swim or outdoor workout. Beware! The reflection of water and sand dramatically increases exposure to the UV rays.
