July weather forecast
Santa Fe, FL

July, the same as June, in Santa Fe, Florida, is another tropical summer month, with an average temperature varying between 74.5°F (23.6°C) and 90.7°F (32.6°C).

Temperature

In Santa Fe, the months of July and August register the highest average temperatures, peaking at 90.7°F (32.6°C).

Heat index

In July, the heat index is calculated to be a blazing hot 113°F (45°C). On guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a potential hazard with continuous physical effort.
One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

Humidity

In Santa Fe, the average relative humidity in July is 77%.

Rainfall

In July, the rain falls for 27.1 days. Throughout July, 5.24" (133mm) of precipitation is accumulated. In Santa Fe, during the entire year, the rain falls for 196.8 days and collects up to 35.71" (907mm) of precipitation.

UV index

May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the average person.
Note: In July, a daily maximum UV index of 7 leads to the following instructions:
Shield from overexposure. Defense against sun-related harm is required. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun.
