Weather in July

July primes summer in Lincoln, Nebraska, as the month records the highest temperatures of the year. The skyrocketing temperatures, coupled with relatively lower levels of precipitation, make it the most arid period of the year. The festive season gives way to numerous outdoor events that take advantage of the 14.8 hours of average daylight. Despite the harshness, July offers a mild breeze and lower wind speeds for residents to enjoy. Nevertheless, a rise in UV index calls for adequate solar protection to enjoy the Nebraska sun safely.

Temperature

July, with its high-temperature average of 86°F (30°C) and a low-temperature average of 66.7°F (19.3°C), is the warmest month.

Heat index

The average heat index in July is appraised at a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.
