July, the heart of summer, evokes images of sweltering afternoons and muggy nights in
New Taipei. The sun's searing heat reaches its peak, and the city feels the full brunt of summer. This month witnesses the pinnacle of the temperature curve, as it hits an extreme high of 34.3°C (93.7°F) and a steamy low of 26.3°C (79.3°F). Though July still invites heavy rainfall, it does little to combat the relentless summer heat. As July concludes, the city fervently hopes for lower temperatures in the upcoming months.
Temperature
July is the month when New Taipei sees the highest average temperatures, with a high of 34.3°C (93.7°F) and a low of 26.3°C (79.3°F).
Heat index
Throughout July, the heat index is evaluated at a blazing hot 49°C (120.2°F).
Watchful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are predicted. Continued exertion could lead to heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. 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. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
