July broadcasts a continuity of the wet spell that characterizes the monsoons in
Siguiri. Rain-laden clouds continue to dominate the city's skies, often breaking into a heavy downpour. Despite the consistent rainfall, a slight dip in temperatures provides a much-needed coolness in the city's weather. A precipitation amounting to 248mm (9.76") stands as a testament to the monsoon’s intensity for this month. The sound of the rain hitting the roof becomes a familiar melody, providing a calming backdrop to indoor activities.
Temperature
The beginning of July subtly marks a decrease in the average high-temperature, transitioning from a very hot 35.7°C (96.3°F) in
June to a tropical 32.5°C (90.5°F). A pronounced dip becomes evident during the nights in July as Siguiri logs a consistent average temperature of 18.7°C (65.7°F).
Heat index
The heat index value during July is estimated at a blazing hot 46°C (114.8°F).
Beware: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are very likely. Heatstroke is imminent with prolonged activity.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
