Weather in July

July symbolizes the height of summer in Vatican City, making it the warmest month of the year. The city basks in temperatures soaring from a warm 20.7°C (69.3°F) to a significantly hot 30.3°C (86.5°F). Rainfall drops to the lowest measurement of the year at just 20mm (0.79") falling across 6.6 days, so a visit might go by entirely rain-free. The peak of the summer heat also coincides with a drop in wind speed to 9.4km/h (5.8mph). Being the sunniest month, it's an excellent time for sightseeing, but remember to stay hydrated.

Temperature

A minor escalation in the average high-temperature is seen with the onset of July, moving from a warm 27°C (80.6°F) in June to a hot 30.3°C (86.5°F). Vatican City records an average low of 20.7°C (69.3°F) throughout the nights in July.

Heat index

For most parts of July, the heat index is evaluated at a hot 33°C (91.4°F). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
