Weather in July

July, the same as June, is a moderately hot summer month in Petra, Kentucky, with an average temperature ranging between max 85.3°F (29.6°C) and min 65.8°F (18.8°C).

Temperature

July proves to be the warmest month, recording an average peak temperature of 85.3°F (29.6°C) and a minimum temperature of 65.8°F (18.8°C).

Heat index

The heat index in July is evaluated at a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.
The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. 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.
