Temperature

Drum records the warmest temperatures in July, averaging a high of 86.5°F (30.3°C) and a low of 65.7°F (18.7°C).

Heat index

In July, the average heat index is evaluated at a sweltering 100.4°F (38°C). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
