Weather in July

July is the zenith of summer in Opelika. The heat, the sun, and outdoor activities are all at their peak. The number of sunshine hours closely matches the duration of daylight thanks to fewer clouds. Despite it being the warmest period, a considerable amount of rainfall is still observed. July experiences a high average temperature of 91°F (32.8°C) and a low of 71.2°F (21.8°C), the highest recorded values for the year.

Temperature

The warmest period tends to be July, when average temperatures fluctuate between a high of 91°F (32.8°C) and a low of 71.2°F (21.8°C).

Heat index

Throughout July, the heat index is estimated at an extremely hot 111.2°F (44°C). Vigilance: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. The likelihood of heatstroke increases with continued activity.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. 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 normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. 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. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
