July typically sees the mercury rise to its peak in Bethany, asserting itself as the hottest month. With temperatures soaring high, snowfall is an unthinkable probability. However, the heat doesn't deter the clouds, which persistently offer a respite from the constant sunshine and high UV index. Fresh and breezy conditions prevail throughout the month, making July a good month for wind-related activities. The high-pressure weather system coupled with decreased rain characterizes the July weather dominant in Bethany.

Temperature

Bethany's warmest month, July, registers temperatures that range from a high of 93.7°F (34.3°C) to a low of 73.2°F (22.9°C).

Heat index

The heat index for July is appraised at a blistering 109.4°F (43°C). Remain alert: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Extended effort can lead to heatstroke.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
