July weather forecast
Moffitt, FL

July, like June, is another hot summer month in Moffitt, Florida, with an average temperature varying between 75°F (23.9°C) and 89.2°F (31.8°C).

Temperature

The arrival of July sees a recorded average high-temperature of a still tropical 89.2°F (31.8°C), showing little divergence from the previous month's conditions. During the month of July, Moffitt experiences a steady low-temperature average of 75°F (23.9°C).

Heat index

July's average heat index is estimated at a blistering 109.4°F (43°C). Mindful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are to be expected. Extended physical effort might result in heatstroke.
It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.

Incorporate safeguards and honour sun safety principles. Protection from skin and eye damage is obligatory. 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. Your best bet for sun defense on the face, eyes, and neck is a hat with a wide brim.
