July weather forecast
Guayaquil, Ecuador

In Guayaquil, the heart of the year, July, unfolds with a bold leap towards considerably drier conditions compared to the preceding moisture-intensive months. An utter plummet in precipitation is observed, diving to 27mm (1.06"), while the hours of sunshine reach their peak. Accompanying the sharp decline in humidity, a mild decline in breezy conditions contributes to the overall comfort factor. Sea temperatures drop further, continuing to relinquish the high numbers of the initial months. Nonetheless, the city's tropical backbone remains intact, articulated by consistently warm temperatures.

Temperature

July's advent presents an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.2°C (88.2°F), indicating a slight variation from the conditions of the previous month. The average nighttime temperature lowers to an agreeable 20.5°C (68.9°F) throughout July.

Heat index

Throughout July, the heat index is appraised at a blistering 40°C (104°F). Ensure extra safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.
Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. 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 and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in July in Guayaquil is 76%.

Rainfall

In Guayaquil, Ecuador, during July, the rain falls for 13.9 days and regularly aggregates up to 27mm (1.06") of precipitation. In Guayaquil, during the entire year, the rain falls for 235.3 days and collects up to 1397mm (55") of precipitation.

Note: The maximum daily UV index, 6 in July, converts into the following recommendations:
Eschew overexposure. Those with light skin may suffer burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. It's wise to wear UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses when the sun shines brightly. Stay aware! UV radiation is magnified when reflecting off sand and water.
