Weather in July

Marked by the highest temperatures of the year, with averages between 19.5°C (67.1°F) and 31.1°C (88°F), July represents the peak of summer in Chattanooga. The warm weather is accompanied by an increase in humidity, enveloping the city in a classic summer atmosphere. The long hours of daylight continue from June, painting the mood for the month. Towards the latter part of the month and proceeding into August, the weather begins to stabilize and transitions to similar weather conditions.

Temperature

July stands out as Chattanooga's warmest month, with temperatures ranging between an average high of 31.1°C (88°F) and a low of 19.5°C (67.1°F).

Heat index

July's heat index is estimated at a torrid 39°C (102.2°F). Take additional safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Prolonged activity may cause heatstroke.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.

Deflect overexposure. Sun protection is a necessity. The Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. On days when the sun blazes, arm yourself with sunglasses that block UVA and UVB radiation.
