July in Shipyard represents the midst of the wet season in all its glory. The city's flora basks in the combined effect of plentiful rainfall and warm daylight hours. Despite being well within the rainy season, temperature debunk the myth of a cool, damp July. The month showcases a hotspot moment with temperatures reaching a sporadic high of 29.9°C (85.8°F). Despite the intermittent showers, July continues the narrative of a warm tropical city where one can enjoy a mix of heat and rains.

Temperature

July's beginning signals an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 29.9°C (85.8°F), barely different from June's 30.3°C (86.5°F). The nights of July are characterized by an average low-temperature of 25.4°C (77.7°F), subtly descending from daytime highs.

Heat index

July's heat index is computed to be a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.
The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.

Skirt overexposure. People with light complexions might get scorched in under 20 minutes. Remember that UV radiation from the Sun is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to limit direct sun exposure during this time. It's wise to wear UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses when the sun shines brightly.
