Weather in July

Carthage, Tunisia, basks in the glory of its warmest month, as July ushers in temperatures scaling from 23.8°C (74.8°F) to the yearly high of 32.1°C (89.8°F). With humidity at its annual low of 53%, the heat feels less oppressive. The month marks a period of plentiful sunshine and scanty rainfall. As August comes knocking, the heat sticks around, scarcely varying from July's thermal range.

Temperature

In Carthage, the average high-temperature in July slightly rises, from a warm 28.5°C (83.3°F) in June, to a hot 32.1°C (89.8°F). Carthage, during the month of July, experiences an average low-temperature of 23.8°C (74.8°F).

Heat index

The heat index value during July is estimated at a very hot 35°C (95°F). Take more preventive steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is elevated. Long activity may culminate in heatstroke.
From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.

Humidity

The least humid month is July, with an average relative humidity of 53%.

Rainfall

The month with the least rainfall is July, when the rain falls for 2.6 days and typically collects 5mm (0.2") of precipitation.

Sea temperature

In Carthage, the average seawater temperature in July is 24.4°C (75.9°F).
Note: Given an individual's cold sensitivity, considering factors like sunshine, wind, and air temperature, a brief swim in 24.4°C (75.9°F) water might be pleasurable. (FYI: The standard water temperature for Olympic swimming contests is 25°C (77°F) to 28°C (82.4°F).)

Daylight

In Carthage, the average length of the day in July is 14h and 24min.
On the first day of the month, sunrise is at 05:03 and sunset at 19:41. On the last day of July, sunrise is at 05:23 and sunset at 19:26 CET.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are June through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.
Note: The maximum UV index of 7 during July translates into these guidelines:
Take precautions and adopt sun safety practices. Protection against sunburn is obliged. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is particularly strong, noting that parasols or canopies may not offer total sun protection. Arm yourself against UV rays' harm with protective apparel and UV-filtering shades. Attention! The combination of sand and water reflections enhances UV ray intensity.
