Weather in July

July is the hottest month in Ottawa, with temperatures soaring to a peak of 87.4°F (30.8°C). The city enjoys the most daylight during this time, with a little over 14 hours on average. Despite the rising temperatures, residents are treated to a respite in the form of showers, keeping the humidity levels in check. July's scorching heat signals that summer has reached its pinnacle. The long daylight hours allow for extended outdoor activities, while the periodic rain ensures a pleasant environment, offering a balance in Ottawa's summer climate.

Temperature

July, noted for its average high-temperature of 87.4°F (30.8°C) and an average low-temperature of 68.9°F (20.5°C), is considered the warmest month.

Heat index

July's mean heat index is computed to be a torrid 102.2°F (39°C). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.
When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

Dodge overexposure. Fair-skinned people can get singed in less than 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun.
