July showcases summer at its peak in
Wuhan. The scorched city sees an average high temperature of 32.6°C (90.7°F). However, July is characterized by high levels of humidity due to substantial rainfall, approximately 190mm (7.48"). Despite the scorching temperatures, residents and tourists find solace in the longer hours of daylight and occasional showers. With July being the time of many traditional Chinese festivals, the city is buzzing with activities and charm.
Temperature
July is the month that records the highest temperatures, with averages ranging from a high of 32.6°C (90.7°F) to a low of 25.4°C (77.7°F).
Heat index
The average heat index in July is calculated to be a burning hot 46°C (114.8°F).
Mindful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are to be expected. Extended physical effort might result in heatstroke.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Juveniles are regularly less conscious of the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a tardy symptom of dehydration - hydration, especially during lengthy physical activities, should be maintained.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

UV index
June through
August, with an average maximum UV index of 11, are months with the highest UV index in Wuhan. A UV Index estimate of 11, and higher, represents an ultimate health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: An average maximum UV index of 11 in July leads to these recommendations:
Implement all key precautions. Warding off sun damage is critical. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, and note that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer full sun protection. Sunglasses that guard against UVA and UVB rays are pivotal in minimizing sun-induced ocular damage. Broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen must be generously applied and reapplied every two hours or post any outdoor activity or swim.
