August brings continuance of the hot weather and remarkable wetness in
Andong. Despite the slight precipitation retrenchment to 218mm (8.58"), the month persistently harbors wet conditions. This constancy, along with elevated temperature, plays a pivotal role in the city's summer scenario. Subsequently, August allows the dense, intriguing narrative of a warm and wet summer month, punctuated by frequent showers and steamy days.
Temperature
August, with average temperatures reaching a high of 29.8°C (85.6°F) and a low of 20.9°C (69.6°F), is the warmest month in Andong,
South Korea.
Heat index
August's mean heat index is appraised at a torrid 37°C (98.6°F). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. 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.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.
