Weather in July

July holds the title for the hottest month of the year in Emerald Isle, hitting a high of 85.6°F (29.8°C). The humid heat could get intense, but the ocean at 82°F (27.8°C) provides enormous respite for locals and tourists alike. The rainfall, usually scattered across nearly nineteen days also aids in somewhat toning down the heatwave. Despite the occasional wet interruptions, the sun continues to shine brightly, inducing warmth into the beautiful landscapes.

Temperature

July, noted for its average high-temperature of 85.6°F (29.8°C) and an average low-temperature of 76.6°F (24.8°C), is considered the warmest month.

Heat index

July's average heat index is evaluated at a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). Incorporate extra safety measures to avoid heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Continuous activity could provoke heatstroke.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. 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 quite important for babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
