Bowala's July showcases an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29.3°C (84.7°F), mirroring the conditions of the previous month. Throughout the month of July, Bowala witnesses an average temperature of 21.4°C (70.5°F).

Heat index

Throughout July, the heat index is appraised at a very hot 35°C (95°F). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.
Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.

Adopt measures and apply sun safety strategies. Shielding from skin and eye damage is necessary.

Limit sun-induced ocular harm with sunglasses that feature UVA and UVB filtration.
