On the advent of July, Mihintale's average high-temperature exhibits a minor adjustment to a still hot 33°C (91.4°F) from June's 32.8°C (91°F). The mean low-temperature during July nights is a moderately hot 25.1°C (77.2°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in July is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 44°C (111.2°F). Careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. With ongoing exertion, heatstroke becomes a possibility.
Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.

July through September, with an average relative humidity of 71%, are the least humid months.

Note: A maximum UV index of 7 in July translates into the following recommendations:
Fend off overexposure. Sun protection is vital. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this time. Sun-related eye harm can be minimized with proper sunglasses offering UVA and UVB coverage.
