Weather in July

July holds the title for the hottest month of the year in Emerald Isle, hitting a high of 85.6°F (29.8°C). The humid heat could get intense, but the ocean at 82°F (27.8°C) provides enormous respite for locals and tourists alike. The rainfall, usually scattered across nearly nineteen days also aids in somewhat toning down the heatwave. Despite the occasional wet interruptions, the sun continues to shine brightly, inducing warmth into the beautiful landscapes.

Temperature

Temperature records mark July as the warmest month, with highs averaging 85.6°F (29.8°C) and lows at 76.6°F (24.8°C).

Heat index

The average heat index in July is estimated at a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. 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 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
