July weather forecast
Tahoua, Niger

July is characterized by a significant surge in rainfall, marking the peak of the wet season in Tahoua. A relatively lower temperature range promises relief from the tormenting heat, only to bring more humidity. Additionally, cloud cover is now more pronounced, extending over 20% of the sky. Despite the increasing rainfall that scales to 43mm (1.69"), the temperature remains high, oscillating between 28.8°C (83.8°F) and 36.9°C (98.4°F). Even with the reduced sunshine hours, hot weather persists, tempered slightly by occasional showers.

Temperature

The beginning of July records an average high-temperature of a still fiery hot 36.9°C (98.4°F), almost echoing the conditions of the previous month. July brings with it a nighttime average temperature of 28.8°C (83.8°F).

Heat index

In July, the heat index is calculated to be a blistering 41°C (105.8°F). Take additional safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Prolonged activity may cause heatstroke.
Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. 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 extremely significant for children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.

Protection should always be a priority. Skin and eyes are vulnerable without it. Limit direct sun exposure especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Shield yourself from the harmful effects of UV radiation with sun-protective attire, a hat, and quality sunglasses.
