In
July,
Thumrait,
Oman experiences a slight drop in temperature, with maximums falling to 37.1°C (98.8°F) from the harsher 40.6°C (105.1°F) in
June. Extended daylight hours persist, providing ample sunlight for solar-powered utilities. Higher levels of relative humidity offer some form of night-time cooling to end warmer-than-average days. The first breath of the monsoon is still awaited, as instances of rainfall remain minimal, with barely a hint of moisture in sight.
Temperature
The onset of July in Thumrait aligns with a soft reduction in the average high-temperature, gently falling from a blisteringly hot 40.6°C (105.1°F) in June to a fiery hot 37.1°C (98.8°F).

Heat index
The heat index for July is appraised at a life-threatening hot 54°C (129.2°F).
Note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke can follow with prolonged activity.
The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Youngsters often neglect the necessity for rest and hydration. Thirst is a sign of advancing dehydration - thus the importance of maintaining hydration, specifically during long-lasting 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. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
