July, the same as June, is another warm summer month in Benfield, Maryland, with temperature in the range of an average low of 70.7°F (21.5°C) and an average high of 85.6°F (29.8°C).

Temperature

The warmest temperatures occur during July, when averages reach a peak of 85.6°F (29.8°C) and a low of 70.7°F (21.5°C).

Heat index

The heat index in July is estimated at a torrid 95°F (35°C). Heightened safety actions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may lead to heatstroke.
One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.
