Temperature
On the advent of July, Díli's average high-temperature exhibits a minor adjustment to a still tropical 30.2°C (86.4°F) from
June's 30.7°C (87.3°F). Díli's nights in July cool down to an average low-temperature of 20.8°C (69.4°F).
Heat index
July's mean heat index is appraised at a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). Incorporate special precautions, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is substantial. Sustained activity could cause heatstroke.
Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

UV index
June and July, with an average maximum UV index of 10, are months with the lowest UV index. A UV Index of 8 to 10 symbolizes a very high health risk from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: The maximum UV index of 10 during July translates into these guidelines:
Be sure to take precautions. Without protection, skin might suffer damage quickly. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., UV radiation is strongest. Make an effort to avoid direct sunlight during this time, remembering that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. A wide-brim hat offers excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck. Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection significantly reduce eye damage from sun exposure. Even on overcast days, apply and frequently reapply a sunscreen with SPF 30 or more, specifically after a swim or outdoor workout. Be mindful! Sand and water reflections can up the Sun's UV exposure.
