Temperature

The transition from June to July brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86.9°F (30.5°C), barely different from June's 86°F (30°C). Throughout July in Madeira Beach, a minimal difference from peak daytime temperatures is noted, marking a steady low-temperature average of 80.2°F (26.8°C).

Heat index

In July, the heat index is estimated at a torrid 98.6°F (37°C). Extra safeguards are necessary to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Prolonged activity might cause heatstroke.
One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. 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.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.

Note: The UV index of 7 during July leads to these advisories:
Prevent overexposure. Protection from the sun's harmful effects is needed. Limit your exposure to the sun's UV radiation, which is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and note that parasols or canopies may not provide full sun protection. Sun protection is enhanced with clothing that boasts a tight weave yet offers a loose fit. Beware! Reflections from sand and water can intensify the Sun's UV radiation.
