July weather forecast
Fougo, Togo

July in Fougo, Togo, translates to increased rainfall, higher humidity, and decreased sunshine hours. This month corroborates the weather trend with a considerable 146mm (5.75") of rainfall, marking a significant upswing from 104mm (4.09") in June. In contrast to the increased wetness adding to the water cycle’s richness, the UV index remains at a neutral six, offering some respite from the harsh sun rays. Despite the frequent showers, a moderate windspeed of 6.2km/h (3.9mph) and a pressure of 1013.1mb make July ideal for witnessing the splendor of the monsoons. A relatively lower average visibility of 7km (4.3mi) accentuates the monsoon magic.

Temperature

In July, the average high-temperature marginally decreases from a tropical 32.2°C (90°F) in June to a warm 28.8°C (83.8°F). Fougo experiences an average temperature drop to an agreeable 21.2°C (70.2°F) during July nights.

Heat index

Throughout July, the heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 35°C (95°F). Exercise more precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could precipitate heatstroke.
It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.

Note: In July, a daily UV index of 6 turns into the following recommendations:
Skirt overexposure. People with light complexions might get scorched in under 20 minutes. Stay out of direct sunlight between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide complete protection. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
