Temperature

Sweepstakes notes the warmest temperatures in July, with a high average of 85.6°F (29.8°C) and a low of 66.6°F (19.2°C).

Heat index

The heat index in July is evaluated at a sweltering 96.8°F (36°C). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. 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.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
