Typifying summer at its zenith, July showcases high temperatures reaching up to 86.2°F (30.1°C), the highest in the year. The rainfall peak is seen in July as well, with the island recording 4.61" (117mm) of rain over 22.7 days. Nonetheless, a respite from the heat and rain comes in the form of long sunlit durations of about 10.8 hours per day. Simultaneously, the wind gusts intensify, reaching 14.2mph (22.9km/h). It is prudent to take note of the UV index hitting 7, the uppermost in the year, necessitating sun protection measures.

Temperature

July is the warmest month of the year, registering average temperatures as high as 86.2°F (30.1°C) and as low as 76.5°F (24.7°C).

Heat index

During July, the heat index is calculated to be a fiery hot 98.6°F (37°C). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.

Endorse precautions and be consistent with sun safety guidelines. Preventing sunburn is paramount. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
