July weather forecast
Mongo, Chad

July's weather in Mongo witnesses an advance in the city’s climate towards moisture and rainfall. No longer dominated by scorching heat, the temperatures retreat, delivering a more soothing warmth to the locals and visitors. An impressive 70mm (2.76") of rainfall awakens the city's landscape from its arid slumber. The presence of moisture translates to milder weather, bringing relief from the past scorching summer months.

Temperature

With the commencement of July, Mongo records a moderate temperature decline, with the average high easing from June's blistering 40.1°C (104.2°F) to a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). An average low-temperature of 28.5°C (83.3°F) marks the nights in Mongo throughout July.

Heat index

The heat index in July is calculated to be a scorching 41°C (105.8°F). More preventive actions are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is significant. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.
The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for 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.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

Ensure you're always protected. Unprotected skin can get damaged in moments. Stay out of direct sunlight and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest, but remember that shade devices may not offer full sun protection. Sunglasses providing both UVA and UVB protection are non-negotiable on sunlit days.
