July weather forecast
Haba, Togo

July continues the trend of a high number of rainfall days, contributing to the consistent high humidity levels. The cloud cover is denser during this month, reducing the hours of direct sunlight significantly. Temperatures drop slightly with high temperatures reaching only around 29°C (84.2°F). With the high precipitation recorded at 110mm (4.33"), July is undoubtedly the height of the rainy season in Haba, Togo.

Temperature

With the onset of July, Haba's climate undergoes a slight change as the average high-temperature moves from a hot 32.8°C (91°F) in June to a moderately hot 29.5°C (85.1°F). In Haba, July nights witness a steady temperature drop to a pleasant 21.8°C (71.2°F).

Heat index

In July, the heat index is computed to be a fiery hot 36°C (96.8°F). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.

Humidity

In July, the average relative humidity is 80%.

UV index

July and August, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the lowest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.
Note: The maximum UV index of 6 during July translates into these guidelines:
Guard oneself from overexposure. Defence against sun injury is vital. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
