Heat index

The average heat index in July is evaluated at an extremely hot 107.6°F (42°C). More preventive actions are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is significant. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

Humidity

In July, the average relative humidity is 76%.

Rainfall

The months with the most rainfall are July and August, with an average 2.68" (68mm) of precipitation.

Act on precautions and pay attention to sun safety recommendations. Avoidance of sunburn is obligatory. Stay in the shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest. Remember, however, that not all shade structures provide full sun protection. Counter UV radiation's ill effects with clothing designed for sun safety and UV-resistant eyewear. Warning! Sand and water reflections boost the intensity of UV exposure.
