Weather in July

July marks the zenith of summer in Piedmont with unequivocally the highest temperatures. The ascension in temperature is matched by the UV index, again topping the chart at 6. July's weather is recognized by its persistent warm conditions, elongated daylight durations, and high sunshine hours. Interestingly, July also sees a decrease in average wind speed, adding to the heat's intensity.

Temperature

In Piedmont, the month of July is known for its highest average temperatures, reaching a high of 84.7°F (29.3°C) and a low of 63.3°F (17.4°C).

Heat index

For most parts of July, the heat index is appraised at a hot 86°F (30°C). Staying active during long-term exposure might result in a state of exhaustion and cause heat cramps.
Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. 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.

Avoid excessive sunlight. Those with lighter skin may experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. A wide-brim hat offers excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck. Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection significantly reduce eye damage from sun exposure.
