Plantation Island, FL

July, like June, is another tropical summer month in Plantation Island, Florida, with an average temperature fluctuating between 79.7°F (26.5°C) and 87.4°F (30.8°C).

Temperature

July's onset records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 87.4°F (30.8°C), a near match to June's 86.5°F (30.3°C). A modest decline from daytime high temperatures in Plantation Island is noticed in July, marking the average low at a warm 79.7°F (26.5°C).

Heat index

For most parts of July, the heat index is computed to be a torrid 100.4°F (38°C). Take extra safety measures to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Heatstroke could follow lengthy activity.
Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. 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 vital to children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

Stay clear of intense sun exposure. Solar protection is of utmost significance. Avoid direct exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, noting that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer complete sun protection. On sunny days, it's ideal to wear sunglasses that filter out UVA and UVB rays.
