July is marked as the warmest month in
Pamplona with temperatures soaring to a maximum average of 28.2°C (82.8°F). This rise in mercury levels couples with a record low relative humidity of 57%, rendering the cityscape dry and humid-less. As a consequence, the demand for cooling measures such as air conditioning increases. Despite the scorching temperatures, the amount of rainfall stays reasonably low. The shift towards
August hints no significant changes in these existing weather patterns.
Temperature
With the transition into July, Pamplona experiences a subtle uplift in average high-temperatures, adjusting from a warm 25.2°C (77.4°F) in
June to a still moderately hot 28.2°C (82.8°F). Pamplona's temperature in July declines substantially from daytime highs, settling at a consistent average of 14.2°C (57.6°F) during the nights.
Heat index
The heat index value during July is estimated at 29°C (84.2°F). Constant activity during exposure could result in a state of weariness and possibly heat cramps.
Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are of high significance 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.

Remember that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. Sunglasses providing both UVA and UVB protection are non-negotiable on sunlit days.
