July's weather in
Raga continues
June's trend with increased rainfall and humidity, recording the highest averages of 227mm (8.94") and 75% respectively. While the increased wetness promotes a healthy growth of the region's flora, it also maintains the temperature range in check. This peak in the rainy season injects life into the land, nurturing the region's biodiversity and agriculture. With balmy daylight hours, the sight of rain-soaked landscapes under the bright sky is a common sight during this month.
Temperature
Raga's coldest month, July, registers temperatures that range from a high of 30.7°C (87.3°F) to a low of 20.6°C (69.1°F).
Heat index
The heat index value for July is appraised at a very hot 38°C (100.4°F). Ensure extra safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to 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. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
