July weather forecast
Sopo, South Sudan

July, the same as June, in Sopo, South Sudan, is another hot summer month, with an average temperature varying between 30.1°C (86.2°F) and 20.2°C (68.4°F).

Temperature

The onset of July results in a small decrease in the average high-temperature, moderately receding from 33.3°C (91.9°F) in June to a still tropical 30.1°C (86.2°F). July nights observe an average temperature dip to a pleasant 20.2°C (68.4°F).

Heat index

The heat index for July is evaluated at a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Greater safety measures are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Continuous activity might trigger heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in July is 79%.

Rainfall

In Sopo, during July, the rain falls for 25.5 days and regularly aggregates up to 113mm (4.45") of precipitation. In Sopo, during the entire year, the rain falls for 145.5 days and collects up to 623mm (24.53") of precipitation.

UV index

The months with the lowest UV index are June through September, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for average individuals.
Note: The maximum daily UV index of 6 in July interprets into the following recommendations:
Skirt overexposure. People with light complexions might get scorched in under 20 minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is most intense from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
