July weather forecast
Bembereke, Benin

July marks the height of monsoon season in Bembereke, Benin. During this month, the rainfall reaches its peak, pouring down a substantial 99mm (3.9"). The temperature continues a slight downward trend from June, providing some relief from the typically hot climatic conditions. Considerably higher humidity and cloud cover hold influence over the entire weather phenomenon during this period. These conditions set the stage for an even more intense phase of monsoon in August.

Temperature

The commencement of July records an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 29.8°C (85.6°F), barely varying from June's 32.8°C (91°F). Throughout July, an average low-temperature of 21.8°C (71.2°F) is experienced.

Heat index

In July, the heat index is calculated to be a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.
