July weather forecast
East Tampa, FL

July, like June, is another tropical summer month in East Tampa, Florida, with an average temperature fluctuating between 77.5°F (25.3°C) and 89.2°F (31.8°C).

Temperature

July registers an average high-temperature of a still tropical 89.2°F (31.8°C), slightly varied from June's 88.7°F (31.5°C). Throughout July, an average nighttime temperature of 77.5°F (25.3°C) is experienced.

Heat index

For most parts of July, the heat index is computed to be a blistering 107.6°F (42°C). Exercise enhanced safety steps, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke could be a result of sustained activity.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in July is 75%.

Rainfall

July is the month with the most rainfall. Rain falls for 22.8 days and accumulates 2.48" (63mm) of precipitation.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are May through September, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the average person.
Note: In July, the average maximum UV index of 7 translates into the following recommendations:
Use measures and accept sun safety conventions. Guarding against skin and eye trauma is of high priority. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., UV radiation is strongest. Make an effort to avoid direct sunlight during this time, remembering that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
