July in
Turkmenbashi brings forth intense heat along with a record high temperature of 34.6°C (94.3°F). This month is the peak of the summer season, witnessing the hottest days of the year. The high Ultraviolet (UV) index warning of 10 continues from
June, necessitating adequate sun protection during outdoor excursions. Despite the dry, arid conditions, the sea prides itself on reaching a warm 24°C (75.2°F), providing a refreshing respite from the summer heat. However, the average rainfall merely touches 2mm (0.08"), the lowest throughout the entire year, signifying a predominating dry phase.
Temperature
The warmest month is July, with an average high-temperature of 34.6°C (94.3°F) and an average low-temperature of 22.2°C (72°F).
Heat index
July's heat index is calculated to be a fiery hot 39°C (102.2°F). Exercise enhanced safety steps, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke could be a result of sustained activity.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Note: A typical high UV index of 10 in July suggests the following recommendations:
Take extra precautions. Fair-skinned individuals may get burned in less than 10 minutes. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays. Despite the overcast weather, sunscreen with SPF of at least 30 should be applied liberally and reapplied often, particularly after swimming or an outdoor workout. Caution! The mirror effect of sand and water ups the UV radiation strength.
