Temperature

With average temperatures fluctuating between a high of 92.1°F (33.4°C) and a low of 72°F (22.2°C), July stands out as the warmest month.

Heat index

The heat index in July is computed to be a blazing hot 116.6°F (47°C). Keep wary: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a possible outcome of ongoing activity.
Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. When there is abundant moisture in the air, the body's cooling through the evaporation process becomes less effective, 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.

Avoid direct exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, noting that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer complete sun protection. To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat.
