July weather forecast
Boro Modi Bane, The Gambia

July sees a significant escalation in the prevalence of the moist season. Despite persistent rainfalls, ample hours of daylight continue to provide sufficient illumination. The wind speed records a dip, further enriching the moist atmospheric conditions. However, episodes of clear, bright skies interspersed between rainfalls often render a beautiful landscape. Signifying the height of the rainy season, total rainfall mounts to an impressive 86mm (3.39").

Temperature

The arrival of July is marked by a minor reduction in average high-temperature, sliding from an extremely hot 40.1°C (104.2°F) in June to a torrid 36.3°C (97.3°F). July nights observe an average temperature dip to a warm 25.9°C (78.6°F).

Heat index

In July, the average heat index is computed to be a life-threatening hot 49°C (120.2°F). Watchful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are predicted. Continued exertion could lead to heatstroke.
Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Children frequently underestimate the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is vital to stay hydrated, particularly during lengthy physical exercises.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

Humidity

In July, the average relative humidity is 60%.

Apply measures and align with sun safety principles. Safeguarding against skin and eye injury is pivotal. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Combat UV radiation's detrimental effects with sun-safe clothing and UV-blocking eyewear.
