Temperature

The month of July sees the highest average temperatures, reaching 88°F (31.1°C) at the peak and 66°F (18.9°C) at the low.

Heat index

For most parts of July, the heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 98.6°F (37°C). Take additional safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Prolonged activity may cause heatstroke.
One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
