Lombe, Angola

Continuing from June's dry spell, July in Lombe reiterates the trend of parched conditions presenting the least rainy month. The mercury does not vary significantly and delivers a relatively hot and dry month. The approaching August signals an equally dry and windier weather pattern. It's noteworthy how the mercury hardly dips below 16.8°C (62.2°F), providing warm nights for this winter month. Meanwhile, the average wind gust speeds increase to 10.6km/h (6.6mph), stirring the atmosphere slightly.

With the onset of July, Lombe's average high-temperature clocks in at a still hot 31.8°C (89.2°F), showing a minor fluctuation from the previous month. Nighttime temperatures exhibit a substantial dip from daytime highs during July, averaging at a refreshing 16.8°C (62.2°F).

Heat index

In July, the heat index is computed to be a sweltering 37°C (98.6°F). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.
It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.

Stand by precautions and apply sun safety measures. Evading sunburn is of great importance. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. To best shield against UV radiation, choose sun-safe garments and dependable sunglasses.
