July weather forecast
Obouya, Congo

July, like June, is another tropical winter month in Obouya, Congo, with an average temperature ranging between max 33.3°C (91.9°F) and min 23.3°C (73.9°F).

Temperature

July proves to be the warmest month, recording an average peak temperature of 33.3°C (91.9°F) and a minimum temperature of 23.3°C (73.9°F).

Heat index

Throughout July, the heat index is estimated at a torrid 39°C (102.2°F). Take additional safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Prolonged activity may cause heatstroke.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

Humidity

With an average relative humidity of 57%, July is the least humid month.

Rainfall

July is the month with the least rainfall. Rain falls for 13.2 days and accumulates 21mm (0.83") of precipitation.

Sunshine

In July, the average sunshine is 9.5h.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are January through August, October through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.
Note: The UV index of 7 in July translates into these instructions:
Undertake precautions and comply with sun safety standards. Protection from skin and eye injury is vital. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, and note that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer full sun protection. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
