The balmy nights provide a stark contrast to the scorching daytime temperatures.

Still, August records a high amount of rainfall, averaging at 193mm (7.6").
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. 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. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
On the first day of the month, sunrise is at 05:44 and sunset at 19:37. On the last day of August, in Mokpo, sunrise is at 06:06 and sunset at 19:02 KST.
