Weather in July

July, the same as June, in South Gastonia, North Carolina, is another tropical summer month, with an average temperature varying between 69.4°F (20.8°C) and 90.5°F (32.5°C).

Heat index

The average heat index in July is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 107.6°F (42°C). Extra safeguards are necessary to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Prolonged activity might cause heatstroke.
Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
