Weather in July

July in Baltimore presents itself as the heart of Summer, offering the pinnacle of heat for the whole year. This month, Baltimore basks in the peak of Summer's high temperature of 85.3°F (29.6°C). Days are long, and sun exposures are high making it the perfect time for beach getaways, water activities, and festivals. With the high temperatures, there is also a peak in humidity, but it does not detract from the summery charm of July.

Temperature

Baltimore records the warmest temperatures in July, averaging a high of 85.3°F (29.6°C) and a low of 69.6°F (20.9°C).

Heat index

For July, the heat index is calculated to be a very hot 95°F (35°C). Implement more safety precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may happen. Persistent activity could induce heatstroke.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

Note: A maximum high UV index of 6 in July translates into the following recommendations:
Embrace precautions and observe sun safety norms. Evasion of sunburn is a necessity. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is particularly strong, noting that parasols or canopies may not offer total sun protection. A hat with a broad brim is indispensable, filtering out up to half of UV rays. Caution! The reflection of sand and water significantly amplifies the Sun's UV radiation.
