July maintains the high heat, with temperatures hovering in the high 30s°C. Though highest temperatures don’t exceed
June's maximum, July persists on the hotter side. The reduction in humidity visible in June stabilizes, yielding to more conducive conditions. Daylight hours slightly reduce but remain in the higher range, contributing to warm afternoons. Despite increased rainfall occurrence, the quantity remains relatively low, keeping the city's weather on the drier side.
Temperature
As July takes hold in

Heat index
For July, the heat index is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 51°C (123.8°F).
Guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are foreseeable. Prolonged effort may bring about heatstroke.
For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.

Employ every precaution of importance, unprotected skin and eyes could burn within moments. 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. Clothes that are both tight-knit and comfortably loose are prime choices for sun protection. Even if the day is cloudy, sunscreen with SPF of at least 30 should be applied generously and reapplied often, particularly after swimming or outdoor exercise. Caution! The Sun's UV intensity grows with reflections off sand and water.
