July weather forecast
Esperanza, Belize

July ushers in a slight reprieve in precipitation, with rainfall falling to 44mm (1.73"). Sunshine levels witness a subtle climb, nudging towards an average of 8 hours per day. Though humidity levels remain relatively high, a consistent wind speed ensures air circulation. The cloud coverage scale tips slightly in favor of clear skies, with a little over half the skies being covered. The gradual lengthening of sunshine hours reveals the silver lining to the prevalent rainy conditions.

Temperature

The transition from June to July brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.4°C (88.5°F), barely different from June's 31.2°C (88.2°F). During the month of July, the nighttime temperature falls to an average of 21.8°C (71.2°F).

Heat index

For July, the heat index is estimated at a blistering 43°C (109.4°F). Take heed: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Heatstroke is a potential outcome of continuous activity.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. 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 are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
