July weather forecast
Demba Kunda, The Gambia

As compared to June, July seems to ease the sweltering intensity as the highest temperature relaxes to 36.3°C (97.3°F). However, the rainfall frequency sees a spike, contributing 86mm (3.39") of rain. The fusion of moderately high temperatures and significant humidity with frequent rain heralds the full arrival of the warm season. Sunrays pierce through the intermittent cloud cover and UV protection becomes a crucial part of outdoor activities.

Temperature

With the onset of July, Demba Kunda experiences a modest temperature adjustment, with the average high-temperature gently receding from a blistering 40.1°C (104.2°F) in June to a very hot 36.3°C (97.3°F). Throughout the month of July, Demba Kunda sees a steady low-temperature average of 25.9°C (78.6°F).

Heat index

For most parts of July, the heat index is appraised at a blazing hot 49°C (120.2°F). Mindful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are to be expected. Extended physical effort might result in heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
