Temperature

The onset of July highlights an average high temperature of a still warm 29.3°C (84.7°F), mirroring the climate in June. During the month of July, an average temperature of 21.4°C (70.5°F) is noted during the nights.

Heat index

Throughout July, the heat index is appraised at a sweltering 35°C (95°F). Ensure heightened precautions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Sustained activity could provoke heatstroke.
Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.

In July, the average relative humidity is 77%.

Dodge overexposure. Fair-skinned people can get singed in less than 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. During bright days, sunglasses that offer UVA and UVB defense are recommended.
