July weather forecast
Córdoba, Spain

As the city proceeds into July, the weather characteristics align closely with the definitive Mediterranean summer. With long days of brilliant sunshine and a high UV index, July in Córdoba guarantees a sunbather's retreat. Interestingly, July's highest temperature averages at a scorching 36.9°C (98.4°F), the highest for the year. While August maintains similar climatic steadiness, the transition from July brings about a marginal retreat in daylight hours and a slight upturn in relative humidity.

Temperature

Córdoba's temperatures tend to reach their peak averages in July, with a high of 36.9°C (98.4°F) and a low of 19°C (66.2°F).

Heat index

In July, the average heat index is computed to be an extremely hot 41°C (105.8°F). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Note: An average maximum UV index of 9 in July leads to these recommendations:
Remember to safeguard yourself. Rapid damage can occur to skin and eyes without protection. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun. After every outdoor workout or swim, liberally apply and frequently reapply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen.
