Weather in July

July, like June, is a hot summer month in Independence, Mississippi, with an average temperature ranging between max 90°F (32.2°C) and min 71.8°F (22.1°C).

Temperature

July stands out as Independence's warmest month, with an average high-temperature of 90°F (32.2°C) and a low-temperature of 71.8°F (22.1°C).

Heat index

Throughout July, the heat index is estimated at a blistering 109.4°F (43°C). Stay wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Heatstroke can ensue from extended effort.
The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

As much as possible, limit direct sun exposure during this period. Sun-related eye harm can be minimized with proper sunglasses offering UVA and UVB coverage.
