Weather in July

July, the same as June, is a moderately hot summer month in Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, with an average temperature varying between 68.7°F (20.4°C) and 85.6°F (29.8°C).

Temperature

July, on average, is the warmest month, registering a high temperature of 85.6°F (29.8°C) and a low of 68.7°F (20.4°C).

Heat index

The heat index value for July is evaluated at a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.
The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
