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
Aden in July witnesses an average high-temperature of a still sweltering 35.9°C (96.6°F), indicating a slight variation from June's 36.6°C (97.9°F). The average temperature drops to a warm 28°C (82.4°F) during the night in the month of July.
Heat index
The heat index value for July is estimated at a burning hot 51°C (123.8°F).
Stay mindful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke could follow extended physical effort.
One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are quite important for children. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

Note: An average UV index of 12 in July transforms into this advice:
Put into action all crucial precautions. Defense against sun damage is a must. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., UV radiation is strongest. Make an effort to avoid direct sunlight during this time, remembering that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun. Despite the cloudy weather, sunscreen with a sun protection factor of at least 30 should be liberally applied and reapplied, including after a swim or outdoor activity. Note! The Sun's UV radiation gets intensified with the reflection from sand and water.
