Despite the heat, the region experiences significant rainfall, with a total of 3.5" (89mm) spread across 20.5 days. July mirrors June in terms of humidity, UV index and daylight hours.

Temperature

July is the warmest month, with an average high-temperature of 92.1°F (33.4°C) and an average low-temperature of 72°F (22.2°C).

Heat index

During July, the heat index is appraised at a burning hot 116.6°F (47°C). Take note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke can occur with prolonged effort.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.
