The weather turns extreme in
Foshan during
July. It marks the peak of summer, with the highest temperature reaching 32.8°C (91°F). However, the heavy rains give a refreshing respite from the intense heat. While indoor air conditioning provides comfort, stepping outdoors would imply battling the heat, humidity, and inevitable rain showers. Rain gear and sunblock become essential during this month.
Temperature
Foshan's July weather, with an average high temperature of 32.8°C (91°F) and an average low temperature of 25.5°C (77.9°F), tends to be the warmest of the year.
Heat index
For most parts of July, the heat index is evaluated at a burning hot 48°C (118.4°F).
Heed: Expect heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continued action may cause heatstroke.
Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
When faced with excessive heat, the human body begins to perspire, utilizing the cooling benefits of sweat evaporation. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
