July weather forecast
Dover, FL

July, like June, is another tropical summer month in Dover, Florida, with an average temperature ranging between min 76.1°F (24.5°C) and max 89.6°F (32°C).

Temperature

The transition into July notes an average high-temperature of a still hot 89.6°F (32°C), revealing a mild distinction from the 89.2°F (31.8°C) in June. During the nights in July, the temperature averages to a warm 76.1°F (24.5°C).

Heat index

The heat index value during July is computed to be an extremely hot 109.4°F (43°C). Guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are foreseeable. Prolonged effort may bring about heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.

UV index

Note: The maximum daily UV index of 7 in July interprets into the following recommendations:
Shun overexposure. Protection from sun ravages is indispensable. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. To mitigate harm from sun exposure, pick sunglasses offering UVA and UVB defense.
