July maintains the high heat, with temperatures hovering in the high 30s°C. Though highest temperatures don’t exceed
June's maximum, July persists on the hotter side. The reduction in humidity visible in June stabilizes, yielding to more conducive conditions.

Heat index
In July, the heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 51°C (123.8°F).
Alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely to occur. Prolonged exertion can lead to heatstroke.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. When the body's heat gain surpasses its removal capacity, body temperature starts to climb, leading to potential heat-related ailments.

Note: In July, a daily maximum UV index of 12 leads to the following instructions:
Undertake all key precautions, as unprotected skin and eyes may get burns in no time. The hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. have the most intense UV radiation. As much as possible, limit direct sun exposure during this period. On sunny days, it's ideal to wear sunglasses that filter out UVA and UVB rays. Even on overcast days, a sunscreen with a sun protection factor of no less than 30 should be generously applied and reapplied, particularly after swimming or outdoor activities. Stay aware! UV radiation is magnified when reflecting off sand and water.
