Temperature

Washington records the warmest temperatures in July, averaging a high of 88.5°F (31.4°C) and a low of 70.9°F (21.6°C).

Heat index

During July, the heat index is evaluated at a blistering 107.6°F (42°C). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.
When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
