July weather forecast
Hormigueros, PR

The summer season remains in full swing in Hormigueros during July. As expected, maximum annual temperatures are reached this month. The tropical downpours continue to nourish the verdant landscape of Hormigueros, with little change in rainfall patterns. It is the annual high temperature of 85.6°F (29.8°C) that makes July distinctive in the calendar.

Temperature

July experiences an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 85.6°F (29.8°C), barely different from June's 85.5°F (29.7°C). Hormigueros, during July nights, records a temperature marginally cooler than the daytime average, at a still moderately hot 78.8°F (26°C).

Heat index

The average heat index in July is estimated at a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). Take additional safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Prolonged activity may cause heatstroke.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in July is 77%.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are March through November, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.
Note: The maximum UV index, 7 during July, leads to the following recommendations:
Uphold preventive measures and conform to sun safety guidelines. Defending against skin and eye harm is crucial. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
