Weather in July

Often remembered as the warmest month of the year, July introduces an impressive average high peaking at 88.9°F (31.6°C). The high temperature holds steady from June, providing consistent warmth.

Temperature

The month of July sees the highest average temperatures in Lynchburg, reaching 88.9°F (31.6°C) at the peak and 65.8°F (18.8°C) at the low.

Heat index

The heat index in July is estimated at a very hot 102.2°F (39°C). Ensure additional precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
