July weather forecast
Rabak, Sudan

July basks in the peak summer heat as Rabak experiences the year's most elevated temperatures and humidity levels. The weather distinguishes itself this month with the heaviest rainfall of the year, amounting to a total of 49mm (1.93"). In combination with the amplified temperatures, July sees Rabak swelter under the Sudanese sun. The inflating cloud coverage, however, provides a respite from the scorching heat, simultaneously ushering in the city's rainy season. The high wind speed further accentuates the cooling effect, providing a welcome refuge from the July heat.

Temperature

The arrival of July signals a subtle shift in temperature, down from a torrid 38.5°C (101.3°F) in June to a tropical 34.8°C (94.6°F). Rabak experiences an average low-temperature reading of 26.7°C (80.1°F) throughout July.

Heat index

For most parts of July, the heat index is estimated at a blistering 41°C (105.8°F). Implement additional preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Heatstroke could follow prolonged activity.
Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.

For minimizing sun-related eye damage, always choose sunglasses with UVA and UVB coverage.
