Heat index

The average heat index in July is evaluated at a hot 89.6°F (32°C). If one persists in activity during exposure, it could induce weariness and subsequently, heat cramps.

Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity.
