Amidst peak summer,
July showcases relative warmth with tallied rainfall amassing to a whopping 238mm (9.37"). The temperature in
Gumi significantly escalates during this period indicating intense summer days. The solar radiation peaks during these long, summer days, providing for excessive heat. The humidity in July tends to be on the higher end of the scale almost reaching saturation levels. Transitioning into
August, only minimal changes in the weather condition can be seen with the continuity of the peak summer theme.
Temperature
July's weather displays an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29.8°C (85.6°F), slightly varied from
June's 27.9°C (82.2°F). July nights observe an average temperature dip to a pleasant 20.9°C (69.6°F).
Heat index
The average heat index in July is calculated to be a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
