July sets the record for the longest duration of sunshine, highest temperatures, and the highest UV index, making it a distinctly hot and sunny month in
Wenzhou. Temperatures soar to a record 32.2°C (90°F) during this month, demonstrating the peak of Wenzhou's summer. Frequent sunshine combined with an increased UV index intensifies the heat throughout the city. Despite the increased rainfall, July continues the trend of warm and sunny conditions. As the month draws to a close, the city prepares for a slight dip in temperature, paving the way for a more tolerable
August.
Temperature
The warmest period tends to be July, when average temperatures fluctuate between a high of 32.2°C (90°F) and a low of 25°C (77°F).
Heat index
For most parts of July, the heat index is evaluated at a burning hot 47°C (116.6°F).
Be on the lookout: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Continued exertion can result in heatstroke.
Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

Execute all vital precautions. Preventing sun damage is of utmost importance. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. A hat with a broad brim is indispensable, filtering out up to half of UV rays. Apply and frequently reapply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen after every two hours, or immediately after a swim or outdoor exercise. Watch out! Reflections from sand and water can surge UV radiation exposure.
