July

Weather in July

Brikama's weather in July is dominated by heavy rainfall; with an astounding increase from 15mm (0.59") in June to 73mm (2.87"). Whilst the temperatures remain relatively stable, the high humidity levels combine with the heavy rainfall to create fairly muggy conditions. Despite the increase in cloud cover, the city continues to receive a generous amount of daylight, although the sun seldom peeks through the cloudy sky. Even the wind ebbs down, perhaps overpowered by the rains, leading to overall calm wind conditions.

Temperature

Upon the onset of July, Brikama witnesses an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 28.4°C (83.1°F), showing a close resemblance to the prior month. Brikama indicates a consistently low-temperature of 26.2°C (79.2°F) during the nights of July.

Heat index

Throughout July, the heat index is calculated to be a tropical 33°C (91.4°F). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
