July is known to be the warmest month of the year in
Chuncheon, with temperatures peaking to a high 29.1°C (84.4°F). The city immerses in full-blown summer, subjected to 'jangma', the East Asian rainy season. Rainfall is consequently at its highest with 384mm (15.12"), creating a wet, humid environment. This heavy rainfall, however, does not deter the vibrant pace of life or the multitude of summer events that occur during the month.
Temperature
An average high-temperature of a still warm 29.1°C (84.4°F) marks July, exhibiting a close resemblance to the conditions in
June. In Chuncheon, July's nights observe an average temperature dip to a pleasant 20.8°C (69.4°F).
Heat index
July's average heat index is evaluated at a sweltering 35°C (95°F). Adopt heightened preventive measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Persistent activity could lead to heatstroke.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.
