Temperature

Bismarck's July weather, with an average high temperature of 83.7°F (28.7°C) and an average low temperature of 61.3°F (16.3°C), tends to be the warmest of the year.

Heat index

The heat index value during July is calculated to be a tropical 86°F (30°C). Persisting in activity during exposure could lead to weariness and subsequently to heat cramps.
Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
