Temperature

Benghazi, Libya, experiences an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.7°C (89.1°F) in July, subtly different from June's 31.8°C (89.2°F). In July, Benghazi experiences a temperature dip to an average of 20.2°C (68.4°F) at night.

Heat index

July's mean heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 38°C (100.4°F). Exercise more precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could precipitate heatstroke.
In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.

Practice all essential precautions. Protection against sun damage is crucial. UV radiation from the sun is at its strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure during these hours. For optimum UV protection, wear sun-resistant attire complemented with a hat and quality shades. Sunscreen with a sun protection factor of no less than 30 should be used liberally and reapplied frequently on overcast days, including after every swim or outdoor activity. Stay alert! Reflective properties of sand and water amplify the Sun's UV radiation.
