Weather in July

July, like June, in Morehead City, North Carolina, is a moderately hot summer month, with temperature in the range of an average high of 84.7°F (29.3°C) and an average low of 77°F (25°C).

Temperature

July, with its average high-temperature of 84.7°F (29.3°C) and an average low-temperature of 77°F (25°C), holds the record as the warmest month.

Heat index

Throughout July, the heat index is appraised at a torrid 95°F (35°C). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
