July weather forecast
Lafon, South Sudan

Weather in July marks a strikingly damp climate associated with the peak of the wet season. The rainfall metrics rise up to 107mm (4.21"), representing the highest volume across all months. Temperatures, on the other hand, exhibit a distinct drop, making July the coolest month of the year in Lafon. The dense cloud cover and relative humidity work in tandem to reduce sunshine hours further. Adding to the season's curved weather composition, July records the lowest wind speed of 5km/h (3.1mph).

Temperature

The coldest period is July, when temperatures fluctuate between an average high of 30.8°C (87.4°F) and a low of 20.6°C (69.1°F).

Heat index

For July, the heat index is appraised at a very hot 39°C (102.2°F). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.
One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Note: In July, a regular UV index of 6 translates into these guidelines:
Inhibit overexposure. Warding off sun damage is of utmost importance. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Sun-related eye harm can be minimized with proper sunglasses offering UVA and UVB coverage.
