July weather forecast
Corn Island, Nicaragua

July maintains the rainy momentum of June with rainfall surging to its peak for the year. Despite the high precipitation, Corn Island continues to offer irresistible allure with constant sea temperatures. The wind speeds pick up slightly, aiding in driving away excess humidity. The longer daylight and sunshine hours offer ample time to experience the island's natural beauty. This month's meteorological trend solidifies July as the epitome of Corn Island's wet season.

Temperature

Corn Island, Nicaragua, notes an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 28.7°C (83.7°F) in July, hardly diverging from June. Corn Island's nighttime average temperature in July subtly descends to a still moderately hot 24.9°C (76.8°F) from the daily highs.

Heat index

During July, the heat index is computed to be a sweltering 35°C (95°F). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

Use measures and accept sun safety conventions. Guarding against skin and eye trauma is of high priority. The Sun's UV radiation is most powerful between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. To the extent possible, limit exposure to the direct sun during these hours. Protect your eyes, ears, face, and neck from the Sun by wearing a wide-brimmed hat. Be alert! The reflection of water and sand augments UV radiation intensity.
