Weather in July
Temperature
July, recognised by an average high temperature of 82°F (27.8°C) and a low of 61.9°F (16.6°C), is Amherst's warmest month.Heat index
In July, the average heat index is estimated at a hot 86°F (30°C). When exposure and activity are sustained, they could induce fatigue, with a chance of heat cramps.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. 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.
