Weather in July

July is York's warmest month, with summer in full swing across the city. Seasonal temperatures peak at an average high of 83.3°F (28.5°C), worthy of note amongst the annual temperature records. The period’s warm, humid weather is perfect for enjoying outdoor activities, albeit with appropriate sun protection measures due to the heightened UV index. Indeed, despite the heat and humidity, the city thrives under the sun's glow and lengthy daylight hours. As the month draws to a close, York begins to anticipate a marginal retreat in temperatures with the arrival of August.

Temperature

In York, the peak temperatures are generally noted in July, averaging a high of 83.3°F (28.5°C) and a low of 64.2°F (17.9°C).

Heat index

The heat index value for July is calculated to be a hot 91.4°F (33°C). Ensure additional precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. 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. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.

Dodge overexposure. Fair-skinned people can get singed in less than 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is particularly strong, noting that parasols or canopies may not offer total sun protection. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays.
