July weather forecast
Kallady, Sri Lanka

July, like June, is another tropical summer month in Kallady, Sri Lanka, with an average temperature fluctuating between 32.6°C (90.7°F) and 26.1°C (79°F).

Temperature

The start of July sees the average high-temperature at a still tropical 32.6°C (90.7°F), showing little difference from June's 33°C (91.4°F). Kallady experiences an average low-temperature reading of 26.1°C (79°F) throughout July.

Heat index

In July, the average heat index is computed to be a blisteringly hot 41°C (105.8°F). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely significant for 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.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Humidity

June and July, with an average relative humidity of 68%, are the least humid months.

Rainfall

In July, the rain falls for 17.1 days. Throughout July, 41mm (1.61") of precipitation is accumulated. In Kallady, during the entire year, the rain falls for 237.8 days and collects up to 1259mm (49.57") of precipitation.

UV index

January through October, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: The daily high UV index of 7 during July translates into the following recommendations:
Use measures and accept sun safety conventions. Guarding against skin and eye trauma is of high priority. The time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. is when UV radiation is at its peak. Limit exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
