July weather forecast
Tulsa, OK

July is typically the hottest month in Tulsa, Oklahoma with only August giving close competition. There are similarities in weather behaviour between June and July, still, July shines forth as slightly "more" in every aspect. The peak temperatures often soar beyond 90°F (32.2°C), occasionally causing discomfort due to high humidity. Although the number of rainfall days drop marginally from June, it does not have a significant effect on the overall weather. The wind too slows down its pace, further amplifying the hot weather feel.

Temperature

Tulsa's warmest weather arrives in July, when temperatures average a high of 91.2°F (32.9°C) and a low of 72.3°F (22.4°C).

Heat index

July's heat index is appraised at a blisteringly hot 109.4°F (43°C). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are quite likely. Heatstroke becomes a risk with continued exertion.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
