July weather forecast
Katubedda, Sri Lanka

July, the same as June, is a moderately hot summer month in Katubedda, Sri Lanka, with an average temperature fluctuating between 25.5°C (77.9°F) and 28.8°C (83.8°F).

Temperature

July's beginning signals an average high-temperature of a still warm 28.8°C (83.8°F), barely different from June's 29.2°C (84.6°F). July is characterized by a steady nighttime low-temperature of 25.5°C (77.9°F).

Heat index

The heat index for July is computed to be a fiery hot 35°C (95°F). Ensure heightened precautions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Sustained activity could provoke heatstroke.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

Humidity

June through August, with an average relative humidity of 83%, are the most humid months.

Counter UV radiation's ill effects with clothing designed for sun safety and UV-resistant eyewear.
