Tchibanga, Gabon

July in Tchibanga experiences the coldest average low temperature, falling to 18.6°C (65.5°F). There is a slight increase in rainfall, although this remains significantly lower compared to the first half of the year. The combination of lower temperatures, increased wind speed, and decreased humidity provides relief from the typically warmer climate. This is the time when cloud cover starts to build up again after the sunnier months of May and June. The weather conditions during July are generally pleasant due to the drop in humidity and temperature.

Heat index

During July, the heat index is appraised at a sweltering 37°C (98.6°F). Ensure heightened precautions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Sustained activity could provoke heatstroke.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

In July, the average relative humidity is 76%.

Exercise precautions and adapt sun safety practices. Defence against skin and eye affliction is paramount. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation. Limit direct exposure to the Sun during these hours. A wide-brimmed hat provides unparalleled sun protection for sensitive areas like the eyes, ears, and neck.
