Weather in July

July, the same as June, in Athens, Louisiana, is another hot summer month, with an average temperature varying between 93.7°F (34.3°C) and 73°F (22.8°C).

Temperature

The onset of July brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 93.7°F (34.3°C), nearly matching the June temperature. An average low-temperature of 73°F (22.8°C) is observed during the July nights.

Heat index

The average heat index in July is appraised at a life-threatening hot 118.4°F (48°C). Keep on guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is a possible danger with ongoing physical activity.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
