July weather forecast
Durant, OK

As summer peaks, July proves to be Durant's warmest month with the year's highest temperatures and lowest relative humidity levels compared to the rest of the year. July boasts the least cloud cover, bathing the city in abundant sunshine and clear skies. The UV index is markedly higher, prompting the use of sunscreens for prevention against harmful rays. Even though temperature tends to rise to the peak, wind speeds remain relatively lower than the yearly average. The incoming August holds promises of similar weather conditions.

Temperature

July reports an average high-temperature of a still hot 92.5°F (33.6°C), slightly varied from June's 88.3°F (31.3°C). Durant, during the nights of July, experiences an average temperature drop to a warm 73.9°F (23.3°C).

Heat index

For most parts of July, the heat index is appraised at a blistering 111.2°F (44°C). Remain cautious: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are foreseeable. Ongoing activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.

Note: An average UV index of 7 in July transforms into this advice:
Uphold preventive measures and conform to sun safety guidelines. Defending against skin and eye harm is crucial. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. For effective sun eye protection, rely on sunglasses certified for UVA and UVB resistance.
