Rain showers mark the month, creating a stark contrast to the dry first half of the year. Notably, July brings 30mm (1.18") of rainfall, while temperatures jump from 26.2°C (79.2°F) to 38.5°C (101.3°F). As July bids adieu, Khartoum prepares for further climate transformation as August approaches.

Temperature

Khartoum's average high-temperature in July sits at a sweltering 38.5°C (101.3°F), showing little difference from the previous month. The anticipated average low-temperature for July in Khartoum, a warm 26.2°C (79.2°F), shows a substantial deviation from the daytime maximums.

Heat index

July's average heat index is evaluated at a blazing hot 46°C (114.8°F). Be alert: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is a threat with sustained physical activity.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.

Execute all vital precautions. Preventing sun damage is of utmost importance. The Sun's UV radiation is at its strongest between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Minimize direct exposure to the sun during this period. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes. Even on cloudy days, a sunscreen with a minimum 30 sun protection factor should be generously applied and frequently re-applied, including after every swim or outdoor exercise.
