July weather forecast
Hood, CA

July, like June, is another tropical summer month in Hood, California, with an average temperature ranging between max 94.5°F (34.7°C) and min 58.6°F (14.8°C).

Temperature

Hood reaches its highest average temperatures in July, measuring 94.5°F (34.7°C) at the peak and 58.6°F (14.8°C) at the lowest.

Heat index

July's mean heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 102.2°F (39°C). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Note: An average maximum UV index of 7 in July leads to these recommendations:
Apply measures and align with sun safety principles. Safeguarding against skin and eye injury is pivotal. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this time. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects.
