July weather forecast
Fuzhou, China

July in Fuzhou is characterized by the typical summer heat and a drop in average rainfall days. Despite the decline in rain, temporary showers can occasionally offer a break from the persistent warmth. The city shows high UV indices and longer daylight hours, signalling the height of summer. July sees the highest annual temperature with an average high of 34.1 degrees C. August maintains a similar thermal fingerprint with only minor drops in various parameters.

Temperature

July, characterized by an average high temperature of 34.1°C (93.4°F) and a low temperature of 25.5°C (77.9°F), is generally the warmest month.

Heat index

Throughout July, the heat index is estimated at a blazing hot 51°C (123.8°F). Stay mindful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke could follow extended physical effort.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.

Note: The maximum UV index, 12 during July, leads to the following recommendations:
Take all critical precautions, unprotected skin might burn swiftly. The time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. is when UV radiation is at its peak. Limit exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. A hat with a broad brim is indispensable, filtering out up to half of UV rays. Apply and frequently reapply a minimum SPF 30 sunscreen even on cloudy days, especially after swimming or an outdoor workout.
