Contrasting the previous month,
July in
Suncheon,
South Korea, witnesses the highest rainfall of the year, with an extraordinary jump to 337mm (13.27"). Marked as the peak of the hot and humid summer, temperatures climb to their zenith. Together with the high humidity that soars up to 78.5% making the days muggy and nights balmy. Amidst these conditions, inhabitants of Suncheon continue enjoying their summer, often taking shelter under the rejuvenating rain. The city exhibits a resplendent green under the equally bountiful daylight hours.
Temperature
Suncheon, South Korea, experiences a transition to a still warm 29.8°C (85.6°F) in average high-temperatures with the arrival of July, not greatly differing from
June's 27.6°C (81.7°F). Suncheon's average low-temperature for the month of July records at an agreeable 21.2°C (70.2°F).
Heat index
July's mean heat index is evaluated at a torrid 37°C (98.6°F). Adopt heightened preventive measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Persistent activity could lead to heatstroke.
It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
