July weather forecast
Lul, South Sudan

July appears as the wettest and the cloudiest month in the Lul calendar. The daylight hours reduce further but still remain on the higher end compared to the year's average. The high rainfall causes a further decrease in the UV index, along with decreased sunshine hours. July experiences the peak of the wet season, with rainfall reaching an apex of 110mm (4.33"). It is the cloudiest month, with an increased presence of fog and mist, contributing to a mystical ambiance.

Temperature

The temperature hits its lowest levels in July and August, recording an average high-temperature of 31.3°C (88.3°F).

Heat index

July's heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 39°C (102.2°F). Ensure heightened precautions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Sustained activity could provoke heatstroke.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
