Temperature

July, characterized by an average high temperature of 91°F (32.8°C) and a low temperature of 71.4°F (21.9°C), is generally the warmest month.

Heat index

The heat index value for July is computed to be an extremely hot 111.2°F (44°C). Mindful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are to be expected. Extended physical effort might result in heatstroke.
Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
