July weather forecast
Maracaibo, Venezuela

July sustains the warm temperature, reflecting Venezuela's emblematic tropical weather. Despite a minor decrease in rainfall relative to June, the month remains well within the annual wet period indicating frequent rains. Days of sunshine continue to decrease gradually, although not enough to mark any dramatic transformation in the weather. Wind speed, relatively stable, aids in offsetting the humidity. Essentially, July weathers the combination of heat and rain, retaining the city's warm allure.

Temperature

Maracaibo, in July, notes a high-temperature average of a still hot 33.8°C (92.8°F), identical to June. Throughout July, a steady low-temperature average of 25.4°C (77.7°F) is noted.

Heat index

The average heat index in July is estimated at a burning hot 46°C (114.8°F). Heed: Expect heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continued action may cause heatstroke.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. 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. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

Humidity

In July, the average relative humidity is 69%.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. The months with the lowest UV index are January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for average individuals.
Note: In July, the maximum UV index of 7 suggests this advice:
Resist extreme sun exposure. Guarding against solar damage is essential. Limit your direct sun exposure, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest. Shade structures might not provide complete sun protection. Your best bet for sun defense on the face, eyes, and neck is a hat with a wide brim. Beware! Reflections from sand and water can intensify the Sun's UV radiation.
