Weather in July

As the calendar turns to July, the heat in Helena, Alabama, rises to its peak, with the mercury occasionally hitting a sweltering 90.5°F (32.5°C). It's important to note, however, that Helena also experiences its most consistent rainfall during July. The combination of high heat and rain can often lead to high humidity levels. Nevertheless, the regular downpours also bring relief from the high temperatures. To sum up, July holds the title of the hottest and the wettest month of the year.

Temperature

July is Helena's warmest month, registering average high temperatures of 90.5°F (32.5°C) and lows of 71.2°F (21.8°C).

Heat index

July's average heat index is computed to be an extremely hot 111.2°F (44°C). Beware: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are on the cards. Heatstroke could result from sustained physical activity.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.
