July in
Shenyang represents the zenith of summer, characterized by high humidity and soaring temperatures. Adequate rainfall, extending daylight hours, and substantial sunshine contribute to the city's lush summer landscapes. The wettest month of the year, July records a staggering 166mm (6.54") of accumulated rainfall. This period offers an abundance of sunny days ideal for outdoor activities despite regular rain showers. These extreme conditions are a precursor for the slightly milder climes ushering in
August.
Temperature
The highest temperatures are recorded in July, with averages reaching a high of 29.1°C (84.4°F) and a low of 20.6°C (69.1°F).
Heat index
July's average heat index is computed to be a sweltering 35°C (95°F). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.
One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
Humidity
The months with the highest humidity are July and August, with an average relative humidity of 78%.
Rainfall
The month with the most rainfall is July, when the rain falls for 13.5 days and typically aggregates up to 166mm (6.54") of precipitation.

UV index
With an average maximum UV index of 9, July is the month with the highest UV index in Shenyang. A UV Index of 8 to 10 symbolizes a very high threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.
Note: The maximum UV index of 9 during July leads to these instructions:
Always stay safe. Unprotected skin and eyes can get damaged rapidly. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays. Sunscreen of at least SPF 30 should be applied generously and reapplied often on overcast days, especially post swim or outdoor exercise.
