July in
Andong marks the height of summer, presenting the hottest and wettest period. The surge to a peak of 244mm (9.61") of rainfall combined with a sweltering high of 29°C (84.2°F) casts a profound effect on the city's climate. The degrees of warmth, along with high humidity levels, paint a portrait of an archetypal summer month. Vibrant outdoor activities and dynamic city life highlight the city's summertime, bolstered by the generous amount of sunlight.
Temperature
The ushering in of July brings an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29°C (84.2°F), closely mirroring the 27.4°C (81.3°F) of
June. Andong's average low-temperature in July is measured at an agreeable 20.6°C (69.1°F).
Heat index
The heat index for July is computed to be a very hot 35°C (95°F). Undertake additional precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
