Weather in July

July in Hambantota sees a continuum in the drying trend from June with limited rainfall. While the temperatures remain consistent with June, a varying factor is the minor decrease in humidity.

The marginally reduced rainfall coupled with winds creates a soothing environment in July.

Temperature

July's average high-temperature in Hambantota, Sri Lanka, is a still tropical 30.7°C (87.3°F), maintaining a close comparison with June's 30.6°C (87.1°F). In Hambantota, July nights maintain a consistent temperature, with an average low of 26.3°C (79.3°F).

Heat index

In July, the heat index is calculated to be a fiery hot 38°C (100.4°F). Extra safeguards are necessary to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Prolonged activity might cause heatstroke.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
